Stage 1: SKETCHING
The first stage of the label design was a pencil sketch on paper. I decided to refer in style to old, elegant labels from the Victorian era. This is how a beautiful vintage logo was created.
Stage 2: VECTORISE
The next stage was to transfer the design from paper to the screen. At the same time, I corrected the imperfections of the sketch and evened out the proportions and light between the letters.
Stage 3: REFINING
Finally, I gave the label a shine. I corrected every single shape to make it coherent and added a lot of details. Thanks to this, I was sure that the final effect was what I needed for this project.
Bottle design
With great passion and precision, I independently crafted a unique black skull-shaped bottle using Blender software and 3D techniques. Utilizing modeling, texturing, and rendering tools, I brought my vision to life, creating not just a vessel for whiskey, but also an icon of aesthetics and character.
Details
Every detail, from the curves of the skull to the smooth finish, was carefully designed to evoke interest and admiration. This bottle is not only a container for an exceptional spirit but also a manifestation of creativity and passion in the world of 3D design.
