Great video! Your canvas size was 14x16. What size canvas would you recommend if all I wanted for a design was a word that said “Game Day” and I wanted it 11” wide by 2” high. Thank you! I am a true beginner lol
Great question! The good thing about shirts is that they're easy to measure. The only rule you really need to remember is that 300dpi is print resolution so if your canvas is set up to match the dimensions you want AND is 300dpi or above you'll be safe. Raising the dpi above 300 is fine for certain situations but you really only need the imagery to be 300 for printing. Going larger on the dpi usually means you're playing it safe in case you want to output the image larger at some point but going too high can bulk up your file too much and in procreate it really limits you layer count. There's a sweet spot that you'll find when you need the higher resolution but don't worry too much about that yet.
I know! Sad about it too because they were great with their sales rate too. I still have luck with TeePublic for sales but their quality of shirt printing isn't up to the caliber that Below the Collar was working with.
Not for direct to garment manufacturing. I do create vector artwork when I'm screen printing but the dtg printer do really well with raster graphics. Everywhere I've seen takes a PNG file.
I have 5 srgb choices. IEC6, v4 ice appearance, v4 ice preferences, v4 preference display class, srgb2014. Which do I choose . I have updated procreate 5
Good question. There are a few that I've used. TeePublic is really easy to jump right in. I know people also use Redbubble and Society6. I have also wanted to try out Threadless because I think that they also have a print on the moon aspect to their company. That last one also has the ability to create all-over printed shirts, but I'm not sure if that is a print on demand feature.
Hi there! I’m an illustrator making t-shirt designs for a client and I’m trying to find a work-a-round in place for vectorizing my illustrations in Adobe Illustrator. I see you’re using procreate for your shirt designs…. do you just send clients the PNG procreate files and that works? or do you think I’m just going to have to man up and face using Adobe illustrator..🫣
I use those PNGs when a client is using direct to garment printing but if they need color separations for screen printing I offer to do that. I do it in photoshop but I know that lots of clients really want the work in vector. Alternatively, there are vector programs on the iPad that function pretty well as drawing tools and less like the pen tool-y classic illustrator game.
Awesome! I thought that it had to be vector files for shirt printing. Thanks for sharing
Awesome illustration!
Thank you! Much appreciated! 🧚🏽♀️🎨
Could you make a tutorial on what brushes and technique you use? I love your style!
I'll keep that in mind for my next video! Thank you.
freaking life saver
Glad I could help. I know some of the info is old (like the website I chose) but most of it is still totally usable.
Thank you. Appreciate it x
Super helpful thank you
This video is very helpful! Thankyou so much :D

It was helpful. Thanks
Great job ..then after finish artwork what to use to send to print shop to keep good quality,?
I usually send the high resolution file via wetransfer.com. It's free and you can send pretty big files.
@@BillMain thank you so much 🤠
Super helpful. Thank you.
My pleasure! Glad it helped!!
Under the collar has closed! Who do you recommend now?
I know! Sad about it too because they were great with their sales rate too. I still have luck with TeePublic for sales but their quality of shirt printing isn't up to the caliber that Below the Collar was working with.
So it doesn’t have to be converted to a vector file?
Not for direct to garment manufacturing. I do create vector artwork when I'm screen printing but the dtg printer do really well with raster graphics. Everywhere I've seen takes a PNG file.
I have 5 srgb choices. IEC6, v4 ice appearance, v4 ice preferences, v4 preference display class, srgb2014. Which do I choose
. I have updated procreate 5
the last one seems to be what this guy chose
Sorry for the late reply, something is going crazy with my notifications. I use Display P3 which is within the RGB colorspace.
I was gonna ask the same thank you
Yeah, I think I'm using the sRGB option at this point.
@@BillMain any specific one? There are 4 apart from display p3
Love the private dance btw 🤑
What if you don’t have the 10,000 combined social media followers for below the collar?
I would email them directly, laying out your case for why you'd be a great candidate for a shop.
Here is my question., that site. You mentioned . You have to have 10k followers on socials.
Is there another one that doesn’t have that requirement
Below the collar to be specific.
Good question. There are a few that I've used. TeePublic is really easy to jump right in. I know people also use Redbubble and Society6.

New subby here now do the break dance😅
