If you have a pretty T-shirt that you want to update a little, and at the same time from the usual thing to make a stylish one that corresponds to the current fashion trends, then you can experiment with its design.
Preparatory stages
Drawing a picture on T-shirts can be done in several ways. But for this, the very thing needs to be prepared beforehand. Wash it, iron it to prevent wrinkles and wrinkles, otherwise the picture will turn out to be sloppy. It would be good for the width and length of the shirt to find the cut of plywood, a thin sheet of particleboard or paperboard. It will need to be put inside to provide a flat hard surface for applying the print and to protect the back of clothes if it is decorated before it. Or vice versa. Even drawing a picture on a T-shirt will require some improvised tools, depending on the technique of processing the fabric. Let's talk about this later.
We turn into artists
On the shirt you can draw not only a neutral image, but also the logo or symbolism of your favorite sports team, its motto, an interesting saying. You can make an inscription in the style of graffiti. The main thing for you is a good possession of a pencil, or rather a marker. Because first of all drawing drawing on T-shirts we suggest you to make with the help of this simple tool. Freshly-filled markers perfectly write on textiles, the paint is well absorbed into the fibers of the fabric, fixed for a long time and perfectly preserves color. True, it is important that the source (T-shirt) be light, because On a dark material, only the white marker will be clearly visible. And the drawing of a picture on a T-shirt is done this way: if you know how to draw properly, then sketch the fabric (immediately the front!) With a simple pencil or chalk and then paint in one color or another. If this is your first job, choose a print easier, monochrome or contrasting colors, without pronounced transitions of hues. When the hand is full - show everything you can!
Stencil Stroke
If you order a drawing on a T-shirt for private individuals or an enterprise, the price for work may vary depending on the complexity of the work, the number of copies, etc. Solving the same problem alone will cost you much cheaper, even if you do not immediately learn how to make complex images on T-shirts. But back to the process. Suppose you picked up a suitable print in electronic form. Translate the image into black and white, mirror it using a graphic editor (ACD, FastStone Image Viewer, "Photoshop" or other) available on the computer, output to a printed sheet and print. Only, firstly, the drawing should not exceed the parameters you need. Secondly, to make an independent drawing of a picture on a T-shirt, equipment is required special. For example, hoop and acrylic (for fabrics) paints. About the colors a little later, but your sample should not be more than the size of the hoop. Now the technician:
- A piece of thick tulle is taken, fastened on a frame.
- It is superimposed on the printout of the drawing with a cloth and copied in all the details (ie the embroidery frame is put to you on the wrong side).
- On the front side, the entire picture space, untouched by the image, is smeared with waterproof glue. Wait for it to dry well.
- Attach tulle with a pattern to the T-shirt, take pieces of foam rubber, sponges or brushes and apply the details of the pattern through the tulle to the T-shirt. Everything should turn out neatly, tk. Glued areas will not allow the paint to flow out beyond the necessary boundaries.
- Wait for the print to dry out. Pay attention to the packaging with paints, there must be an instruction for use. Therefore, if it is written that the painted product should be ironed, better do it, the result will be preserved for a long time.
Good luck in the design field!
