"Worn" T-Shirt Textures...
Ok, so I'll admit I'm a bit lazy. Does anyone have a good link to some nice "worn-looking" t-shirt textures? I found the actual t-shirt fabric texture one AND I found an earlier post [about the worn look] with a link to one, but the link doesn't work. Any help would be great. I understand if you don't want to though, with me being lazy and all. Thanks!

Crumble up some paper and scan it

or take any other texture of the internet



If you nee done specifically -- take a picture

It's much more rewarding that way too.

yeah - distressing filters are predictable -



I print the shirt myself - then drive over it - generally with several different terrains, dirt road, paved, gravel etc. then scan in and overlay -

no problem dude, hope those help. Monkey made a good suggestion too. a crumpled piece of paper can do wonders for textures

I love vintage distressed art. It leaves the eye to recreate the whole picture. Before it was "aged"



He he.

All about me

I sketch/design/illustrate and come up with rather bizarre ideas. Most are unfinished, it's just what I do. It's how I work. I love coming up with anything to do with tentacles, tikis and eyeballs as you will see in my designs and such. Enjoy!
