TET holding a Bored Yeti MKII Popsicle Skateboard deck. |
In creating the Bored Yeti MKII skateboard deck design I set out to create an image a little more old school style.
Every time BoardPusher packages up a deck, included is one of their A4 paper templates for your next skateboard graphic idea. They encourage you to create your design on the template, then use your phone to take a photo and upload the image into their board designer. I thought I'd give it try.
I'd always planned to do more Bored Yeti skateboard graphics so that was an easy choice for subject matter. I didn't do any preliminary sketching, I just looked at all the sketches I did from the first design for inspiration.
Watch the video below to see the MKII go from drawing, to my online store, to an actual skateboard that I take out for a spin.
Originally I was going to create the entire design on the template but I realized I wouldn't be able to match the coloring of the first design. So I settled for doing everything up to the line art old school, then I took a photo with my phone camera.
The main thing I wanted to know was how those Sharpie outlines would compare to my digital line art. Looking at the final design on a skateboard, I have to say they look pretty good. You can see a little of the paper texture, where the Sharpie ink has bled slightly, making the design a little rougher, and less clinical.
Initially I didn't want to set up the board I ordered (it was intended to be a sample deck) but it didn't feel right ending the video above at the unboxing.
