[TrauMaEu]

[TheRidGrid]

is silk screening how you did this? i need it to look professional and do it so i can make a lot of shirts in a short amount of time. will scanning the picture work? or do i have to paint the image first because the colors wont turn out solid when they print it rite? and how will i get it on a shirt?

[DavidLozeau]

@TheRidGrid You need a silk screen machine or company to do it for you. You also need the artwork to be solid black....google "how to make a screen print" and there are tons of articles and how-tos Good luck!

[TheRidGrid]

nvm i got it

[TheRidGrid]

Thanks for the help but i think the url is wrong =(

[DavidLozeau]

@TheRidGrid nope...just add the w's in front...youtube is blocking the link or go to ehow

[TheRidGrid]

i want to make t shirts and i happen to have a design but in pencil and colored pencil. if i want to print a shirt do i have to paint it? or when i send it to the online store will the color be solid? and do u mass produce the t shirts or do u have someone to do it for you?

[DavidLozeau]

@TheRidGrid Here you go...start here...

[heresanoppurtunity]

What software do you use?

[DavidLozeau]

@heresanoppurtunity Photoshop and Illustrator

[ShiiTWaa]

Where do you scan the large drawings? Do you go somewhere to scan it and then save it on a flash drive or something?

[DavidLozeau]

@ShiiTWaa I have a scanner, and scan the larger items in pieces and then stitch them all together in photoshop.

[tallboywitshortpants]

[DavidLozeau]

[ChunkieMonk3y1]

[DavidLozeau]

@ChunkieMonk3y1 the art is then scanned in and converted to a digital file which is used to burn screens for mass production.

Hi, Wicked work!!! I am looking to get into tee shirt design and would like to ask a few basic questions. Do you draw the picture on paper then scan it into illustrator and make the change there?

Thanks

[DavidLozeau]

@jcrums Thanks! Yes, I take my hand inked file into illustrator to create a vector graphic.

[jcrums]

@DavidLozeau Sorry to be a noob, but is that easy to do? Just scan it into illustrator and then? cheers

[DavidLozeau]

@tempxanga yup....that's why you can't mess up!!

[eightyfivestore]

Wow. Very nice. Sweet work man.

[Liam1993R]

Woah, I really wanna get into doing this kind of thing.

Any suggestions to tools needed?

I wanted to use something really flexible and hand controlled.

So would I use a special form of pen with specialist ink? If so, what's the best brand/ style that wont run or fade in the wash.

Thnx,

[badnewsmac]

Hi David!

[mocokid2003]

That looks so cool. What kind of brush are you using

[DavidLozeau]

Thanks! I use a Series 7 Winsor and Newton brush number 2....

[ocb522]

Is hotpress watercolor paperblock the same as illustration board?  I looked for it at the local art store and couldn't find any. Also what is clayboard?

[DavidLozeau]

It's close but it's a finer smoother paper...you can use illustration board or any other hot press paper no problem. Try them both and see what works best for your style...

[ocb522]

What are you inking on? What type of paper?

[DavidLozeau]

Arches Hotpress Watercolor paper block.

[TheRroocckkeerr]

Just picked up the new issue of Garage today. Love that magazine.... probably my favorite. I really enjoyed this. It's cool to actually see the man behind one of the designs for Garage at work. Now I just have to find out where to get one of those shirts!

[jepoytoa]

is that a marker ink? what kind of ink?

oh, and that's dope :) love it :)

[DavidLozeau]

Nope that is a brush dipped in FW acrylic ink. Thanks man!
