hi, i'm a huge threadless fan, and i immeadiately fell in love with your design and i plan to buy it. it's very whimsical and interesting. i've been planning to submit my own design to threadless. i've already sketched it....the website says to download the sketch to adobe and play around with it. being that my sketch seems to be using the same medium as you did, i was wondering if you could explain the process of your submission. it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the lovely message! There's nothing too sophisticated in my technique- I hand-draw my artwork with pen and ink and scan it into photoshop, in grayscale at 300 dpi.
I then adjust the levels to get the linework nice and solid, use the "select->colour range" tool to copy and paste the linework into a separate layer, then use layer style->colour overlay to get it the right colour and make and adjustments using the paintbrush tools.
Hope that makes sense, if you need any more advice feel free to email me at thisisjonturner@gmail.com and I'll do my best to help!
thanks sooo much, i just ordered your shirt yesterday and cant wait to wear it. :) since i'm extremely new to the submission process, i may have some more questions along the way haha
Just was browsing google for a picture of this lovely shirt that I received for Christmas! It's one of my favorites and I wish I could just buy it again, again, again.
Thank you for your hard work. Your efforts were not wasted in people who love this shirt like I do!! (:
I draw things, and make up stories about the things I draw. Crazy.
I like people getting in touch, it gives me an enormous sense of wellbeing and makes me feel like one of the cool kids : thisisjonturner at gmail dot com
Let me know if there's anything that you want, if there's anything I can do... or just if you want to tell me about your cat, or whatever
