Swallow the Sun 2.0 (Design illustration Tutorial)

Pen and InkLine artVector artShirt design/Digital Illustration
This is my 1st tutorial for the year 2009, despite the undying rain and the coldness of the weather here in the city, I still have to work on some stuff for my clients and even for myself, even though it's pretty tempting to sleep. Last Thursday night I had this urge on trying to re-sketch an old Threadless sub “Swallow the Sun", though a lot of people liked the previous Dragon design, there were a few people find the arms and the sun weird, when I reviewed it, I guess they're right about it, so I had to make another illustration, same position, with more improvements with the arms and the sun, I also had to do some changes on the Dragon’s features, so that it would look like a different one, but still with the same position so that the placement of the shirt will retain. Though I have the same technique on the last tutorial, I added more info and additional style, like adding halftones on the colouring. I hope you like this new tutorial, mostly, learn a lot from it, if you have questions, feel free to ask me. ENJOY!
PS: If you want a very detailed design and you want to retain the pen strokes, but you wanted to convert it into a vector file without tracing the whole lineart, cuz it will take a lot of time to finish the whole thing, this is the right tutorial for you.
