About This Class

In this class we will take a drawing from a sketch to a T-shirt design incorporating just a few colors. Once we are done, you will be able to confidently create your own designs ready for uploading to Print on Demand services like Merch by Amazon, TeeSpring and Redbubble.

We will be using the comic book drawing and painting app, Clip Studio Paint to draw a cool, retro T-shirt design. Students will be taken through each step as Ben researches authentic inspiration and color schemes and creates a piece of artwork that’s ready to upload and print. He also goes over some weathering techniques and an alternate color scheme.

By participating, students will see some of the fundamentals of the illustration process which can be applied to countless other projects.

Why:

Advancements in printing technology now make it possible to print thousands of colors onto clothing, but there is something about simple, classic graphics that will never go out of style. Designers who can incorporate their drawing skills into appealing, vintage-inspired T-shirt designs will have a leg up on their competition.

Who is this class for?
If you love drawing but aren’t sure how to translate a sketch into a printable apparel graphic, this is for you. Anyone who wants to up their T-shirt design skills will likely get something new from this course. 

What you'll need:

• Clip Studio Paint (30-day FREE trial version is fine!)
• iPad Pro with pencil or a Wacom or similar drawing tablet on your PC/Mac
