Initial draft for my entry into http://www.tee.youth.sg/, rather satisfied but I feel much work is obviously needed.

The theme for the contest is IdentiTEE, and the duality of the piece emphasizes the two sides of Singapore, during rainy and sunny weather. It also aludes to our emotions, which may be cheerful and upbeat one moment, and downcast the next.

Things to do - 1) Rain should be vertical instead of slanted, doesn't really work out as it is and it adds another confusing dimension to the picture which is unneeded. 2) Top half needs to be fleshed out, area around the sun is meant to mirror what one would see standing under a palm tree and looking up, obviously needs work. 3) Neaten up the lines and consider extension of the design onto the sleeves of the shirt. 4) Darken pencil lines, though this may be due to the camera i took the picture with, consider colour usage and contrast.

More to be added as inspiration strikes me, comments welcome, expect picture to be edited.

Cheers.
