HAWAIIAN SHIRT

INTRODUCTION

For this first blog, I have decided to do a step by step on how I made a Hawaiian Shirt. This is also one of the projects from Digital class. As showed at the following I will take you step by step how I developed the ideas and the process for this project.  Basically, the idea of ​​the pattern for this shirt was to draw cats.

I basically used two primary colors blue, yellow and a tertiary color, pink; which with the white background, of the shirt gives a good contrast.
