Hi,
I am very new to teeshirt design and whilst I have scoured the net for tutorials and I’ve found a few really good ones for halftones, I’m lacking foundation knowledge.
(btw I have PS CC and a Wacom Bamboo - truly a case of ‘all the gear but no idea’)
-
For brush choices, is it pretty much isolated to any hard brush at 100% opacity to prevent different shades of one colour appearing? Would you use a soft-edged brush (and subsequent conversion) where you want a halftone to create texture?
-
What (do you find) is the best process to follow when creating? Scribbles > Sketch > Line Art > Colour Flats > Shading and Light?
-
With regards to the Photoshop template, it appears to have been segmented, so you can’t bucket fill the shirt with your chosen colour. I’ve gotten around this with inverting a magic wand selection of the black lines, but it’s still a bit clunky. Maybe I’m missing something, but why has it been segmented?
-
Finally, what mistakes do beginners always seem to make and which I can avoid?
I’d be really grateful for any input you can offer, so hopefully I will be able to submit something soon.
