"World's Best 'Dad" Sticker Process

(migrated from Patreon)

This sticker was a more recent idea. A friend in the groupchat shared a targeted ad they received of a shirt that said "Craw Me Daddy" with a picture of a crawdad in the middle. I thought it was funny, made a joke about a mug that said "#1 Crawdad" on it, and then decided to actually draw it lol. I was torn between several typical father superlatives, but decided to go with "World's Best 'Dad" (although the baseball cap does say "#1 Crawdad" on it :)) Who knows, maybe I will draw more of these little guys with the other slogans. 

Procreate Sketches:

There were lots of different ways to color these guys, so I chose the color scheme I liked best. Initially I colored using the olive green background, but when I put in the sticker template behind, the colors ended up looking wayyy too dark. So I actually played with layer settings to get the color to pop more on the white, especially since I know what I see on my iPad doesn't always translate exactly onto other screens. In the end, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. (Although I'll need to adjust the white again since the sticker template looks too blue)
