Hey all who reads this, it's just that I'm having a lot of trouble getting inspired. I used to try and draw every day, but this year the workload for school has gotten so much bigger that I've barely had time for art. In previously years I'd always spend ages making my art visual diary the best that it could be, but this year I haven't had time to do anything in it, so it's really bare and looks pretty amateurish, which I'm not happy about.
The last few months have been crazy with exam revision, but I've almost finished school so I'll have plenty of time for drawing. The problem is, I haven't really drawn in months, and I can't get inspired. How can this be helped? How do you all get inspired? Thanks.
When you post your design, are you allowed to just put a random celeb's head on wearing the t-shirt? You don't need to ask anyone? Because I've seen Jojo and Will Ferrell and wondered if you can just do that.
Also, can you use well known characters like Harry Potter and Elmo etc. in your designs or does that interfere with copyrights?
If anyone happens to read this, it would be really helpful if they could help out and reply.
I want to start drawing designs for t-shirts but I'm not sure how the process goes. Do you draw on paper first then scan onto computer and edit in photoshop? Or do you draw the whole thing onto the computer? Because I don't know how to do the latter or really how to use photoshop.
I guess this is for anyone who saw my slogans on the main page, voted "OMG NO" then decided "OMG who would ever submit anything like that, let's go look them up to see how idiotic they are!" Sorry. I only just started this and all I could think of were lame things. I'm not really a funny person, just kinda lame. But hey, lame could still work. It has a promising future.
Oh and I guess it was time to write a random blog on here, because I was looking at my profile and Threadless not-so-subtly hinted that I should, otherwise I would continue to be antisocial. Progress report: so far only one of my 3 lame slogans has been voted for, and it has a 100% success! (That's because I thought it would be cool if I voted for myself once. Isn't that what all the cool kids do? No? Well, I guess it's just the lame ones.) |

I haven't submitted any photos. I guess I don't want free money.
