Dudeee I just want to say I really appreciate your content! I recently tried to find other channels to learn as much as I can to better my t-shirt design skills and I did not find anybody providing the amount of value you do. Even though I'm sure it's a bit frustrating for you, you still take the time to break down your process for us beginners, so we can learn. Thank you for your generosity Charley.
dude, thanks! no matter how long i've been using illustrator, or really any adobe program, every time I look up a tutorial I find a wayyy easier way of doing things lol.
This is cool and all, but it really only works digitally or for printing on paper. If I'm creating a screen for screen printing, how do I delete those little white spaces out of the vector artwork itself?
Great tutorial, thanks!! One question though was left unanswered: How to prepare the design for print? I mean, "texture 1" would show up as white on any non-white shirt instead of in the actual material color. Do you use "minus front" in pathfinder/shape modes?
When you create the design, just make the texture the same swatch color as the garment/tshirt color. You don’t have to actually cut it out of the design, if that makes sense (for screenprint). If you were doing a sublimation shirt for, say, Redbubble, you WOULD need to subtract it from the design (minus front).
I like this method. Other tutorials try to get you to use photoshop. However, i have thousands of designs and this is faster. The only issue is with shirts that are not black or white. My question, would it be efficient to duplicate the design, paste in place, compound path, clipping mask over the pattern, then is lays on top of original design perfect with not " overflow"?
QUESTION: Why not just use the transparency feature? It perfectly masks the design and no erasing the pattern overflow. If you have a dark garment and put the light design on it, you will have to erase every single overflow part. With transparency, you won't have to do this.
Hello Charley can you make a tutorails about illustrator basic how to use it and to export to photoshop for maybe to save it to png with out losing the vector.you are the only one who can teach me that i real would appreciate it.you are my yoda lol
But if you only want the with texture to be on the grafik below it and not outside, or even make the white part transparent through the logo? This design only works if the background is white?
great videos EXCEPT on the Bella video I heard you quickly mention getting filters online called rust and oil splatter...I really love your videos. On this video it said that these filters were listed....I am sorry but I would love to have these. I don't follow the other sites....are they on this youtube video and I just don't see them? THNX
Charley, really enjoying your videos. Problem: I have followed this video exactly and still I cannto change the color of the image after i do the trace and expand. Its just comes up with a question mark in the box.............very frustrated@!!!!! HELP!!!!!

Hey Charley... What if you want the white grunge layers to be transparent instead of specks of white? I would be doing this for Amazon Merch shirt and I would rather have one color (black) and not two. Any suggestions?
Hi, when i try to change colour of texture, the whole rectangle of texture vectors AND the selection box fills (so, a big square of colour rather than just the distressed bits). I've expanded it after live tracing... not sure why?
What if I want to add a texture on top of your own artwork - then 'cut away' the texture from the main drawing (so when printed there are little gaps of ink where you laid the texture)
@@CharleyPangus Yeah - I gave that a try, but somehow it kept clipping down to a small shape. Does my 'live paint' need to be expanded...or turned into a shape...or some other formatting before it can be used with the clipping mask? Im mostly sing the brush and live paint. Anyways thanks for the help! I'll keep experimenting
@@meredithbrown2181 I'm trying to do the same thing, it's driving me crazy. Did you ever find a solve for this? I'm going to keep persisting till I find an answer because it'll make the finished product so much easier to recolour and edit.
WHY DOES EVERYONE DO TIHS VIDEO WITH A COLORED BACKGROUND. WE NEED ONE WITH A TRANSPARENT BACKGROUND. I cant find a single video online here where someone actually goes the next step further and literally just has TEXT. no background. transparent background, completely. okay, now we need the teture to shoot through the text. since there is NO background, i need it to comply with WHATVER color the background is. i just want the text to have holes in it, like someone shot through the text. now, whether you put that text on a shirt, or you put it on a billboard, it should blend RIGHT INTO the background, someone please send me a link for a video like this.
We love this design!

This was the best tutorial I've seen for adding grunge effects! Thank you! Definitely subscribing.

Man....😯u r god for many creative aspirants ..I mean it .....
This is cool and all, but it really only works digitally or for printing on paper. If I'm creating a screen for screen printing, how do I delete those little white spaces out of the vector artwork itself?
Thank you, this was a really clear and intuitive tutorial. Really fun to do too!
Charley i have to show you a few of my designs for my brand!!!
Great tutorial, thanks!! One question though was left unanswered: How to prepare the design for print? I mean, "texture 1" would show up as white on any non-white shirt instead of in the actual material color. Do you use "minus front" in pathfinder/shape modes?
Maria Sagasser sometimes it depends on the situation
Maria Sagasser I usually like to have the textures on there on layers so I can hide them or change them if I want.
When you create the design, just make the texture the same swatch color as the garment/tshirt color. You don’t have to actually cut it out of the design, if that makes sense (for screenprint).

Awesome as always, Charley! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
What font is the Weirdos? Its Dope, Thanks for the video, super helpful!
Hey Charley, the design ended up lookin sick, I'll go and watch the bella+canvas video now. Keep these videos coming!
Happily stumbled across your channel tonight, great stuff!
From the link you provided, which had the two textures you used?
I also couldn't find it
Thank you! This has been so helpful.
Do more videos like this showing us techniques in 5 -7 minutes
Just what I needed. Thank you!

Hey Charl, nice video but the link for the distressed link isn't there
btbooker6362 just added it my dude
@@CharleyPangus Link is not working anymore, for the first option Diet Vector Textures
Like it so much Charlie.
Liz Ng thank you so much
Don't see free textures. Your link wants me to pay
really cool Video! Thx!
GREAT VIDEO - MADE IT REALLY EASY!!!!! THANK YOU
OMG THIS WAS AWESOME!!! Thank you!!!
But if you only want the with texture to be on the grafik below it and not outside, or even make the white part transparent through the logo? This design only works if the background is white?
This was really helpful. Thank you!
Sick design and sick video man :)
samxma 😁🙏🏻
So, I guess your printshop had to finish this and do the separation clipping to make this one piece of art?
That's what I was wondering. For a t-shirt design with universal application, wouldn't you want to use the transparency tool and clip this?
Great work bro...
great videos EXCEPT on the Bella video I heard you quickly mention getting filters online called rust and oil splatter...I really love your videos. On this video it said that these filters were listed....I am sorry but I would love to have these. I don't follow the other sites....are they on this youtube video and I just don't see them? THNX
Rhonda Leistner I’ll include them :)
Thank you Charley!!!!!
What is the font name do you use on the "weirdos" text?
Thanks a lot !!!
Awesome tutorial
Off The Dome Media Group thank you
but would't the white show in the print ?
Charley, really enjoying your videos. Problem: I have followed this video exactly and still I cannto change the color of the image after i do the trace and expand. Its just comes up with a question mark in the box.............very frustrated@!!!!! HELP!!!!!
How come the white distressed texture only works on white t-shirts? When it's on colored shirts it shows up looking more like paint splashes.
How do you get the edges of your letters to look a little jagged? I noticed the edges of the font isn't completely smooth
what font did you use in this design?
Hey Charley - someone posted the same thing i am going to ask....where are the distressed filters you said at the beginning of the video?

I have the same problem. did you figure out?

Hey bud I couldn’t find the free textures. Only saw a pack I had to pay for
Where are the retro textures?
What if I want to add a texture on top of your own artwork - then 'cut away' the texture from the main drawing (so when printed there are little gaps of ink where you laid the texture)
Meredith Brown create a mask out of the texture :)

Okey, the link has 30 textures, witch one is it?
thank you for this tut. however, this won't work well on a non-white shirt. sloppy
sqorpy if it’s going to be screen printed it doesn’t really matter since it only requires black/white layers
@@lilibethtorres4427 Agree! however, most of the viewers will be applying this for DTG.
Nice super
Maxamed mustaf thank you :)
Sorry...I meant textures not filters according to your video...THNX
Rhonda Leistner I added the link in the description of this video 😁
charley i wanna ask you something
how can you get better everyday in designing skills ?
Kelvin Charles practice man :) learn from people you like.
Kelvin Charles also if you challenge yourself to learn a new design skill everyday you will be a boss 😁❤️
thank you my man
keep practice !
