Ten Hundred i always love your art. And i’m inspired. But all these years i really can’t find my own style.

[@jojocaitlin8508]

@@aeronabril4737 my best advice is think of random things to draw and just let your brain flow without using references. References help influence your brain and can affect the way you draw something. Also if there's any little characters you draw often you could include them in your peices which many artists do. Try to sketch everyday or as often as possible rather than trying to make finished pieces every time. Hope this helps 😁

@@giselemori3195 he showed how easy it is to create a shirt step by step and it makes you think "I can do that!", but at the same time his art is so cool and he makes it look so effortlessly you also think "dang will I ever get that good?". Idk I wrote this comment a while ago and I just noticed theres a typo lol

[@4rtys]

@@adrianuriostegui8727 Probably that feel is due his art style. I mean he shows how he is, natural and funny so his work is just that reflection. I'm sure you have your own style but you need time and hardwork to make it grow. Just confidence, work and don't try to be another person, just yourself.

This was such a helpful video! I've been thinking about starting a small clothing brand to rake in a little cash and this answered almost all of the questions I had. The only other question I had was whether or not it is financially a good idea to send the designs to a screen printing company when I first start making shirts, or if I should just start screen printing my own. I'd love to hear back from you and get some ideas on how I should go about starting this venture.

[@highgaugedesign]

I suggest using levels on another layer and simply masking the portion you don’t want effected. You can basically do all your edits without touching the original.

“I’m gonna teach you how to make a t-shirt that sells”. First step: Have actual talent and skill

[@MichaelisMoshu]

Just to help make your life a bit easier. When you select a part of your piece in photoshop and cut it out you can use the option to 'paste in place'. I know the pc shortcut is ctrl+shift+v. Not sure what the mac option is off the top of my head but the drop down menu is 'edit/paste special/ paste in place. This way you don't have to double check if the part is lined up because photoshop put it right back where it cut out.

[@katlandreth6430]

It's Shift + Command + V on a mac. You can also do Shift + Command (or Ctrl) + J to cut and paste onto a new layer with one command.

I know this video is a bit old by now so you may know this already, but if you use the crop tool in Photoshop and hold ctrl while you click and drag, you can drag out a line along the angle of the top of your paper and the tool will automatically straighten your image for you. Figuring that out was a huge time-saver for me. Nice Work!

[@silkieshag9703]

Nice tutorial bro. Keep up the great work!

[@katlandreth6430]

This is so sweet and detailed! I'm learning so much from this video. Thought I would share one tip: If you hit Shift + Cmd + V it will paste the selection in place (around 9:52) so you don't have to line them up. You could also just use Shift + Cmd + J to cut and paste a new in-place layer from the selection with one command.

[@azkzlv3735]

10:32 can you detailing whose the button use on the windows?

[@MummyBrown]

I JUST found this KZbin and I'm diggin' the vibe. I love seeing other artists process vids, thank you for sharing! I have a tip on the sketching process: Draw it out, scan it, and change the pencil lines to a non-photo blue. Print it out with the blue line work on heavier paper. THEN ink it on that blue ink print out. I agree that a direct hand-drawn piece looks much more alive. Once you dig that ink look, scan it again and drop out that blue in Photoshop. I know that final resellable artwork is a great addition to your flow, but should you get the need for a switch up this is a great option. This way enables you to play with your final inked look w/o sacrificing the final piece.
