Hey everyone, I am new here and am in need of help. I am trying to make T shirts for my band, and all we have is a drawing on paper. So i scanned it into my pc. Now is there any way in Photoshop to make the picture look like it would belong an a t shirt and not look like a drawing on a shirt

Not sure what you mean by that, can you be a bit more descriptive.

You may want to find a silkscreener who can produce the T-shirts and talk with him.

What i mean is, is it possible to make the image not look like its a drawing on a piece of paper. Umm idk how else to explain it. Like clean it up and look more solid. Sorry i can’t think of another way. I heard that the pen tool + stroke will help. What does it do and where can i find it?

(And maybe a link or two to the kind of final result you’re looking for)

Dunno. What’s it look like now? What feature of the artwork you you want to emulate or duplicate?

Your artwork < http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1wref6lwK3tLH296Tl UuqB7JZSCeM>

I just don’t get the question. Do you want to simulate putting your artwork on a T-shirt? Do you want your artwork to look more inthe style of the samples you showed? Something else?

For the T-shirt, just use one of the ones you posted. Use the Stamp tool to erase the existing artwork, then put your art on a layer above the T-shirt and scale until things look right. You’ll either have to mask your art or add a white background between the two layers if your illustration is transparent in Photoshop.

For the latter question, that’s all you. Draw it in that style.

I don’t know what else to say.

Yes. Scan it into Photoshop, import it into Illustrator, trace thereby vectorizing. Much smoother results!

Your version next to my version as it might look on a black T-shirt done by a silk screen printer … How it actually comes out is up to your artistic skills… there is a lot that you can do, you have a great start!!.. all things are possible
