Illustrated T-Shirts: Create Your Collection
|
Learn how to create a collection of illustrated T-shirts using Illustrator, from the concept and design to printing
Want to create your first collection of illustrated T-shirts? Get inspired and bring your ideas to life with Cristóbal Ojeda, designer and illustrator who has worked with brands like Nike, Chevrolet, and Lollapalooza Chile.
Discover how to search for references, conceptualize a T-shirt line, and create the illustrations (focusing on composition and color) as well as what technical aspects you need to consider before printing. Learn everything you need to know to get professional results while using simple techniques in Illustrator.
Kick off the course with an introduction from Cristóbal Ojeda, who tells you about his most prominent work and his biggest influences, from cartoon-style illustration to the world of design.
Dive right into your project and see how to search for references and develop the concept for your collection. Then, Cristóbal explains how to draw your first sketch and gives you some tips on how to add typography and match it to your design.
Once you finish the original design, draw two more sketches that include certain elements from the first one … and with that you have your first T-shirt line!
Now move on to the digital phase of your project. Begin with the vectoring process in Illustrator (or a similar vector program) and trace over your sketches to create the definitive digital versions. Explore different color options and how to apply them, and then learn how to arrange your designs and put them on T-shirts.
