i seek some assistance from all yal artist in springleapland. when you guys design your tees what kind of equipment do you use on your pc to draw you pictures? sketchpad ?

Well I sketch with normal pencil and paper. I used to not do this and try working directly on pc…but if you look at the difference in my designs from when I started to now this step is probably the largest contributing factor.

I then use adobe fireworks to vector the design. i also use vectors to colour.

I bought a genius graphics tablet recently and I will definately recommend them to anyone. its great to use and cheap to buy. I paid R700 for mine…which is peanuts for a good graphics tablet. If you’re worried it wont last as long as a wacom…buy 3 :P

Busy practicing the use of photoshop with the tablet. watch this space to see how that turns out lol

I sketch my pics out on paper, scan to pc, ink the pencils using either photoshop or illustrator. Then i colour with either photoshop, illustrator, or Painter 9.
