Rainbow Rain has to be one of my favourite art prints that I designed so far. I made a little doodle of the idea in my notebook years ago, I just never got around to actually doing it. Until now. Wow, I sound like a super dramatic movie trailer.
Anyway, when the idea came to me, I only drew the colourful lines of rain and the umbrella but I didn’t know how I can make the latter visible without using a contour line. I wanted it to be just one solid block that is white just like the background and I didn’t want the colourful rain to appear ‘underneath’ the umbrella. How do I do that? I didn’t know the answer so I left the idea alone for like 3 years. 😀
Lately, as I put together this big collection of art prints, I took my notes out from years ago and decided to actually turn this half-baked idea into a finished design. I realised quickly that I have to just place a background colour behind the umbrella. But I don’t want to pick a colour from the ones I used for the rain because favouring one of them over the others just wouldn’t be fair. Shall I go for grey? But grey is so ‘meh’… Naah, let’s go for black! I tried it out and I was happy to note that the overall impression of the design still remained super playful.
