Digitally Illustrate a Skull T-Shirt

About the Class

http://skl.sh/1pqiUJa

In this class I'll walk you through my process, step-by-step, showing you how I create detailed artwork for screen-printed t-shirts. You'll be using a provided reference photo that we'll be modifying with sketching techniques and you will also learn to set up your file for production. Beginners, to advanced students will likely enjoy and benefit from this class!

What You'll Learn

• Sketching: Learn how to develop and modify your reference image with digital sketching techniques in Adobe Photoshop 
• Line Work: Learn how to digitally ink your concept sketch, add details and capture the volume of the image. We’ll also install custom Photoshop brush presets that I use for cleaner lines. (Provided by illustrator Rey Frenden)
• Color & Shading: Get the most out of a limited, spot color pallet and incorporate dynamic shading and highlights into your illustrations
• File Set-up: Create clean, color separated production files for your best shot at perfectly screen-printed T-shirts

More Information

To create the project for this class you'll need Adobe Photoshop (download a free 30-day trial at Adobe.com) and a graphics tablet. I'll be using a Wacom Cintiq, but any graphics tablet will do.
