Judging from your photo, it looks like you're working out of Photoshop. The next question is, are your colors on their own separate layers or are they all on one layer?



SEPARATE LAYERS

Turn off your background layer, shirt color layer and any other layer that you don't want to appear on the model. Click on one of the colored layers that should appear on the shirt (i.e. the magenta or purple, etc.). Then click on the arrow on your layers palette and click on merge visible. Then you Select All, copy and paste it onto Bob the model.



ONE LAYER

Go to select by color range (go to your select menu at the top). Click on the white part of the image (or whatever is your background color). Then go to Select and click on Inverse (or command + I). Copy and then paste it on Bob.



The image may be too big when it goes on Bob. You go to Edit and Free Transform. Hold down your shift key, grab one of the corners and hold your mouse down as you bring it down in size. Once it's the correct size hit Enter/Return. You can use your eraser tool to get rid of the edges on the right. The best way to get rid of the edges would be the pen tool, but that takes a whole different skills set.

Im a bit photoshop rusty but....



Try 'multiply' in the drop down menu in your layers pallette.

Also try knocking down the transparency a bit and messing around with distort, perspective or skew in the 'transform' menu.



This may not be any help.

Yeah, you can use the Dodge/Burn tool as well to help create the illusion of wrinkles.

Ok thanks, I created the image outside of photoshop and its all one layer but I could re create it, I have photoshop on my laptop not on my parents computer (the one I'm using at the moment).

Best to use photoshop, stubbsy. Layer it up and drop the opacity of the design. Peace!
