Make Comics Not War on my handpainted Tee

If all generals had their own webcomic with weekly updates this planet would probably be a lot nicer to live on.

I’ve had some fun making my own handpainted T-shirts. So far one for my daughter and one for me. I used pens for a central drawing and then paint to splash all over.

First I sketched with a pencil in a way that I won’t mind if it doesn’t wash away. I then used Giotto Decor textile  and Milan textile pens. It’s hard to get a clean sharp line and the felt tip gets looses fibres quite quick.  I used Panduro’s Palette to paint with. It’s thick and nice like gouache but I diluted it with water to make it easier to get that Pollock effect. The effect I ended up with was a bleed. It’s really difficult to get it to mix with water. My next project will probably exclude the pens and water and just use the paint as ink.

Had some fun doing these sketches today. I’m planning to draw on T-shirts with textile paint and pens so I wanted to get down some ideas for designs on paper for me and my girls..

I’ll attack these with digital color some other day…

I just love the way these loose sketches turn into cool illustrations. Florian Satzinger’s style is definetly my taste. Looking at his art removes any fear of  approaching the paper, on the contrary I can’t wait to start sketching my self. He makes it look so easy. (Hope he wont’ mind me linking his art…)

Check out his blog Paperwalker.
