Creating Illustrated 1980s Vintage Tees in Photoshop

[@KelLauren]

im a merchandise designer, and I cannot tell you how often I come back to this video. there are a million plugins that try to do this, but nothing compares to doing it the way you do here. thank you so much for making this tutorial.

For anyone wondering how to make the glow behind randy at 8:45, all you have to do is follow the same steps he does in the drop shadow section, and then once the drop shadow is applied, right click on "drop shadow" in the layers section under the glow layer. then click create layer. After you do that you should be able to apply the noise and blur.

[@МирасСадыков-л1л]

Bro, I still haven't figured out how to do this

[@topangacreek]

I worked on Photoshop beta, and did tshirt designs for WInterland in the 90's. You are a phenomenally talented pro, and an exceptionally clear teacher. Deep gratitude for sharing helpful knowledge to the young designers and us old dogs.

Honestly I burned trought many paid courses, and some of them have they uses, but if you wanna really learn abaut the tricks of the programs, your best bet is guys like you. The most intresting things I learn abaut this program is on youtube for free. And thats insane. Thank you for being so awasome!

[@neobaggins3718]

Man, this is exactly what I needed! About 6 months ago I did a tshirt design using methods from several of your other tutorials, including the money engraving effect, but wasn’t quite able to achieve the look I was going for…which was exactly this effect! Time to revisit that project!

[@Texturelabs]

Awesome :)

[@CharleyPangus]

This is why you're the absolute GOAT. Appreciate your tutorials brother.

[@bahramdae9490]

Bro after clicking on hardmix on 1:52 which button did he click to open the hardmix color picker?

The real skill is not in the software, but envisioning an end result and working this puzzle on how to get there. Great video.

[@dgaudiovideomedia]

Watching Michelangelo create David or Leonardo Davinci paint the Mona Lisa must have been just as satisfying as watching your masterly tutorials. Thank you for so generously sharing your skills and valuable insights.

[@stephanorstephan]

Another one for the record books. You rock dude!

[@brittanybishop3748]

The only complaint I ever have about this channel is they don’t update everyday 😂. It’s like Christmas morning when I see a new TextureLabs tutorial pop up on my feed. Have you ever considered selling a Master Class? I think I’d be first in line.❤

[@yellsatcloud175]

Can someone explain what he does at 8:43? He drags and drops the Randy layer and it creates a different kind of layer that automatically names itself "Randy Glow" and is set up for making the glow effect background? How do you do this?

[@SlamJamThankYouSam]

i need this too, i can't figure out how the mask seems to invert itself after her does a simple drop shadow

[@randomrevenant2446]

lmk if u figure it out

[@KyleChurchwell]

the layer thumbnail for "Randy Glow" at 8:47 shows a black background, white subject, and a light grey glow. if you re-create that formula yourself, then add grain + blur, it should work. i assume this part was cut from the video in the edit, but that small detail is definitely missing. i hope this helps!

[@PaulBohno]

@@KyleChurchwell I got it to work recreating this but it doesnt look as good. I think because my canvas dimensions are different. The glow doesnt span out that far/cleanly. Basically it has too much glow around to strong and not gradual enough. I tried using shadowify plugin to remedy this but it still doesnt look as good as his.

[@waxmaster-c]

Awesome. I'd love a video on color separating this for screen printing.

[@Darksagan]

Your way of using grunge textures is the best way Ive seen.

[@howlinwolves2266]

Hi Brady, awesome video! I was wondering how you made the "Randy Glow" layer at 8:44. Using only drop shadow didn't seem to work for me, and it looked like there were maybe other previous steps for that effect that were trimmed out of the video for time's sake. Thanks!

[@twalling]

Yeah, that one confused me, too. The bit at the end with the knockout also confused me. Too fast.

[@deboraabreu3133]

I have a doubt in which I can't finish the art. At minute 8:45 of the video you duplicate the layer and configure the drop shadow, what do you do next before going to the noise, that the layer changes and stops being an object intelligent ?

these videos have been so so helpful in learning the image manipulation side of photoshop- it’s not something i’ve dabbled in before with previous programs and it’s been a huge game changer . as a proposed video suggestion (i suppose) i’d love to see how you’d do a tattoo effect . it’s usually quite subtle but hard to nail realistically i think

[@murphybegood]

Sharing all the tricks… Nice work!

[@stillremain.artwork]

Amazing video! Thank you so much, I can suggest that instead of desaturating the image, you can use a Fill layer with Black/Grey/White and set the blending mode to Hue or Color, this way the Values of the colors are more truthful to the source, try it out!

[@Texturelabs]

Oh nice, I hear ya, HueSat can be super flat for skin tones. Interesting that HueSat, BW, Channel Mixer Monochrome, and the Color Blend Mode you mentioned all have different default weights for the RGB channels!

[@stillremain.artwork]

@@Texturelabs yes exactly! I'd love to know if there's an explanation for it, btw your Plugins saved me already hours of work, thank you so much for that ♥️

Brady and Texturelabs are the greatest and this video in particular is amazing. But, like a lot of folks, I'm still stuck on the Randy Glow step.

confused on how you were able to achieve the grainy glow look around your subject, would love a reply that would help out!

[@raybeer549]

Bloody awesome. I'm gonna be studying this vid alot. Cheers.

[@nosysknows]

One of the things I've been doing lately with my shirt mockups is to drop the design into a smart layer and you can use the liquify tool to push the pixels around to match the folds and wrinkles in the t-shirt. It's non-destructive at that point too so you can continue to tweak the liquify (I'll also use warp and the puppet tool if I'm bending it into place on a model) but it's really nice being able to drop a new graphic in and have it map to everything i've already done.

[@rodrigoxnevesx]

It would be great if you made a video on how to prepare the file for screen printing, or how do I send this to the screen printing company so they get the colors right. But greati video anyway! Love the Channel and always learn new stuff with your videos!
