msgrafis asked:
what are painting and drawing tools and materials to paint and draw on t-shirt? what are the fabrics? cotton or other is the best?
and is it possible to transfer image we paint on t-shirt to digital version to be printed again? thank you.
also, what other tools are needed to paint and draw on t-shirt? i hope the paint/drawing cant be erased by wash and long lasting.
also on jeans and shoes materials.

t-shirts printing
for photos/images use a ink jet printer and computer and print using a teeshirt printing paper most art type shops sell them then iron on the design
for paiting any material is ok but cottons re best
i use Dylon pots here in the Uk whether theyre avaible where you are i dont know but there is probably something similar.
and i either trace on to the fabric or draw free hand then paint hope this helps

t-shirts printing
First guy had the right idea, i’m deployed here and i design most of the t-shirts to be made in my facility, they normally higher a contractor who uses my images i make for the shirt and imprints them on plain colored t-shirts. They do it digitally (depends on the contractor and their….’skills’) and imprint it through either ironing (the cheaper contractors) or digitally, like a printer almost (first guy explained it better.).
Of course you can always paint or draw freehand, but the wear wash, and tear will most definitely put it’s toll on the t-shirt.
Cotton will most definitely shrink after a few washes, polyester or a mix of poly and cotton t-shirts normally work best.
