How do they do it
about Her Hair
So in the shirt "Her Hair" there is this awesome effect where lines form the hair.
How does the artist do this? Is it as tedious as it looks or is there an easier way?
Please help

This is what i get for asking a question on a site like threadless...

the only one that has done anygood (not saying much) is TheInfamousBaka's post

from it I dedused that there is no program that does this, it must be done by hand

actually, that shirt was supposed to be another reprint of "Ah Munna Eachoo!", but then some clumsy broad fell into the printing press, and they turned tragedy into profit.

It was based on a photo but the hair is a lot bigger on the shirt than the photo. It really is as tedious as it looks.

It kinda looks like its done just by drawing, but in Illustrator hair lines are a bit tedious but easier to do then by hand with the pen tool and certain types of brushes that get thicker in the middle and narrow at the ends. Probably could replicate something similar.



If your looking for exactly how they did it, asking the artist them self may help as well.

Not anger, just petty banter.
