Retro Pin-Up

This is a vector T-Shirt design I have done, which will not go into production. As its a test to see if the idea would work. As I wanted to know if I could design a T-Shirt that had only have 3 colours for both the car and the pin-up girl.

I have just ordered some books on how to draw pin-up girls from scratch. Like the original 50's designs. So this is something I want to learn, and it gets me drawing with traditional pencil and paper again, after a long time of doing vectors. These designs will be done as vectors as well, but I want to be able to do both.

Its all done in Adobe Illustrator CS2, and took about 6-7 hours. All strokes and solid drawn shapes. Apart from the hair highlights.
