I sketched the whole artwork first on my sketchpad, scanned, and then did the vector work. Used 8 colors in total (including white), and had to separate and then group each color on separate layers, making it a total of 8 layers. This is a best practice for t-shirt or textile printing. I don’t usually separate colors by layers that’s why it took me 36 hours to finish everything (or more, since I lost count of the hours). Despite all that I had lots of fun in doing this! It made me reminisce about my childhood and even made me remember one of my favorite songs from the show:
