welcome to a new series(?) i'm calling "trust the process." i'll go through different art pieces and explain how they changed as i made them.
i decided to make a plush animal crossing blanket over the weekend. i ended up making it in two sizes. i'm pretty proud of how it came out, so let's take a look at how it was made!
large size
small size
i decided to make a plush animal crossing blanket over the weekend. i ended up making it in two sizes. i'm pretty proud of how it came out, so let's take a look at how it was made!
i started with nook's face. for some reason this took me a really long time because i couldn't get it to look right? but i got it eventually. the nooklings are the same as nook with different eyes.
i originally put the nooks (plus a few furniture leaves) on a plain cream background with a wavy border, but i didn't like how it looked and came up with the "quilt" idea.
originally i wanted tom to be the only thing not in a square, but quickly changed that.
then i took a rough pass at the "quilted" shapes in the squares. after that, i cleaned them up and refined them.then i boosted the saturation and lightened the color of the border and the grid.
then i boosted the saturation and lightened the color of the border and the grid.
then i had the idea to include a "patch" background for the leaf. i don't know why, but i'm really happy with this decision and i think it adds a lot to the overall design!!
i originally used the same "x" stitches as the border, but it looked too busy, so i changed it to a simpler stitch, as well as lightened the color of the patch itself. i really like the end result!
at the very last second, i rearranged everything, and then i was done!
thanks for taking the time to read this! i hope to continue this series with art in different styles and mediums!
