Alas, the old blog and forum posts are gone. Top selling artists patrickspens and ramyb wrote tutorials and shared their techniques when it came to doing halftones to take advantage of the shirt color itself.

If anyone does need tips on halftones, there’s an old Threadless forum post that might be helpful: https://www.threadless.com/info/blog/976624/threadless_teetorials_halftones

The video doesn’t work, but the text gives all the info you need (and there’s some additional discussion in the comments)
