Skull/Water

Skulls was something that appeared over and over in the visual research and it is a generic thing that the brand knows will work on their t-shirts.
I don't think skulls are particularly overused because they can be used in so many ways so I wasn't going to avoid using a skull, because I like the image of them.

I then incorporated an open mouth skull with vintage/hawaiian tattoo style waves.

It still needs work, particularly on the waves and it needs vectorising but once again - I haven't really done anything like this before so I am happy with it.

2 drawings done and I already see my design direction going the way I want it to, good good.
