Hello friends Today I want to present you my hand-painted t-shirt of the amazing band evancence

This was another challenge that I completed in the new 2025 year because to be honest, I have a big fear of drawing portraits, let alone on a t-shirt, because when you draw on a t-shirt, you can't make mistakes because there's no way to erase it or fix it, and I was quite unsure of myself about doing it, but still, with the new year came a new identity in me that fills me with confidence in my qualities, and I tried to challenge myself by making two gates with an inscription, which I'm also very afraid of, because for most artists who make t-shirts with inscriptions, and in general, they focus on inscriptions, it's quite difficult, no matter how easy it seems, the inscription is something that has a lot of perspective in it and you have to calculate every single letter that is made by hand, of course on a print. That's not the case, but still, I'm an artist and I do everything with my two hands, even when I'm injured, unfortunately I had an accident, but I still don't stop drawing because my heart only fills when my hands move easily.

This t-shirt, which is an XXL size black cotton t-shirt, is made with professional textile dyes that are specially designed for cotton fabrics, which convey high quality and value to the picture, which does not bend in the face of weather conditions or in the face of your iron or washing machine, haha, may you have a sense of humor, I wish you

Here I am, the natural artist, completely natural in my habitat. I have made my studio at home where I am satisfied with my pets, and this is the newest member of the family, whose name is Pablo Escobar.

So let's start with cooking the T-shirt project because lately I've decided to create the projects for my clients because most people don't know what they want and it's good that we as artists make it easier for them to choose by not making them for me even if you choose together. I just ask for a theme, what do they prefer in white or black, and that's where the great creativity begins. I've got a special graphics tablet on which to prepare the projects and a special program called capcut if anyone doesn't know, let them download it and make their work easier by drawing the themes on a sheet of paper, just do them on the tablet or phone, whoever has one.

Once you have prepared the graphic portrait project, I start drawing it with tape, which is made of paper, so that it doesn't spill over anything on the t-shirt in perspective. How will it look? Here it's a little based on graphics. It's just not a sheet of paper and it's not with a pencil, it's with tape and it's on a textile. It's good to have a good perspective when you draw portraits. Whoever decided to draw portraits knows that they are one of the most difficult figures in art. And if we make a mistake somewhere, especially on a t-shirt, we can't fix it. So be a little more careful and measure yourself with the inscriptions. I also advise you, because I've already burned myself a few times. But you learn from your clothes, right? It's just that when we decide, it means that we have to grow up in this mistake and not repeat it again, learn our lesson and move forward bravely as artists.

Here you have prepared the materials from which we will need several brushes with coarse bristles for better sealing of the paint itself, since it is a textile paint, it is a little different from other paints. It is good to have coarser brushes because if it is thin bristles, for example natural hair, it will also be ruined and it will not be worth it.

and with slight apprehension but courage in my heart I begin to draw the first portrait which is of the woman in the photo you can see how I have placed my tablet so that I can see the features as well as possible and little by little we begin
I put on my first base which is white and beige paint because as you can see on the tablet it was quite white which for me personally was such an unnatural skin color but still we paint what we see and not invent the first rule

IMG_20250113_162328.jpg

I made the basic curves of the hands and face and then with black paint on the black t-shirt which was easy for me personally everything is smooth but still whatever the client I paint for wants I always respect his wish but still after that I suggested we put some paint and light shadow around them so they can stand out a little more

After the base has dried, I start shaping the features of the portrait itself, which is very deep, very light blue eyes, which I am quite delighted with because people, I have dark eyes, which are brown, super made, and I dream of blue or always eyes, and simply when I draw a portrait with colored eyes, I am open-armed because I respect colored eyes. And do you like them?

and here as you can see the fear I had How do Turks change little by little but we still reached the end result which was delightful the client remained which I was the happiest of because the most important thing for me in my work and in the undertaking I have undertaken is the reaction of the person for whom I paint, that he feels love admiration and joy from what I do for him
IMG_20250115_131641.jpg
and the next step is the second portrait, which we have drawn again in perspective how exactly it will look with tape, so that when the person puts on the T-shirt itself, absolutely everything is shorter and nothing is left in shadow.
IMG_20250115_131644.jpg
I have to admit, the features of the man we were drawing were much more difficult and I don't know why, in general it's always difficult to draw people, at least for me, but in this case, somehow, I felt things much more like that, as you can see, I put the tablet on so that I could see absolutely every single one of them, how and where it was, like facial features.
IMG_20250116_130105.jpg
but with a cheerful step and courage we continue with drawing the man's face. First we lay the foundation as in the first portrait, then we shape the features and light shadows. The hair is very important to do while the face is being drawn because it helps a lot to reach the final result, but where exactly are the features located on the person's face

IMG_20250117_125441.jpg
After we put the first base, the t-shirt must dry for at least a day, so such a t-shirt is painted for three to seven days, depending on the complexity of the picture being painted, but still, for each individual base, and there are three, you must wait at least a day with a good density. So when there is an impatient person, I unfortunately have to explain to you that art on textiles requires time and patience.

After making a story portrait, we start with the caption that depicts the name of the group.I've done everything again with a sketch with a tape measure because the last inscription I made had a lot of wings. I admit it, and I don't forgive myself much for the mistakes I make in my work. Honestly, when everything is done by hand, people understand, and artists and people who are fans of art and order paintings or whatever else, things won't always turn out like on a printer. An artist has an individual style and he's not a computer. Security has a way of expressing his art and we just have to respect that. But to be safe, I did absolutely everything right. I measured with tape in centimeters where exactly the inscription should be and I started drawing it.
IMG_20250117_133223.jpg
I will honestly tell you only one of what turned out because I did not believe in myself at all when making this order because I was most afraid of these two things to draw portraits and inscriptions and especially on a T-shirt top which as I mentioned above you cannot erase like on paper so I congratulate her with the nosta that I applied because when we have a certain fear regardless in art in life in love and in anything We have to face it and we will see that there is nothing special except our illusory mind which does not say you can not I actually can You just have to believe in yourself

Here I want you to notice the boards that I have put in. To be honest, I got rid of all the boards that I have in the household because as I explained, the t-shirt that is being painted in the process shouldn't have any creases or folds and so on because it is a garment and there is no way, but it was an XXL size which is a pretty big t-shirt and while I was painting, absolutely everything had to be supported in some way. When you paint clothes, I advise you to stretch it out to put it on something. I put it on a box and therefore after that I put in boards and whatever I have on hand so that it can be stretched and properly placed so that everything is as it should be in the painting.

and this is the final result of my handmade art on a t-shirt which is the band Evans I don't know if you've heard them share in the comments phenols are you fans of this band personally I didn't think of it As long as he's a friend he won't let me sing a song that is world famous And honestly when I know the band I'm drawing the person I'm drawing whatever I'm drawing I know him from a closer perspective honestly my emotional state is changing a little because it gets a little personal and things are working out somehow maybe for me better

Here I will present it to you from several angles because the paints themselves reflect the light and as you can see in some places it is just super reflected and not visible at all. It will depend on the people and in general. I hope you like the end result. I challenged myself. Have you ever challenged yourself? Share in the comments if you have overcome any fears.

and here follows a review As always, my best friend and the love of my life who always helps me present my t-shirts because I'm quite small and skinny and it's not comfortable for me to take pictures and at the same time do a professional photo shoot, but as much as possible I always try to present myself in my work, not only in art, but also in the shooting afterwards, because a painting if you don't present it to the viewers properly from each one down in a professional way, you can't really touch your art, so I advise you when you photograph your paintings, especially if you are developing as a business in this field, it's a good idea to get a phone or camera with which you can present your paintings and, regardless of whether they are on clothes, cups, boards, walls or canvases, just take some wonderful pictures with which people, the viewers, can touch your art both spiritually and emotionally and mentally and want to wish it to be in their homes too

I hope you liked my t-shirt. I'm personally happy with myself, but I'd be interested in hearing what you think and sharing whether you've ever challenged yourself with something unknown. If you have, what was the end result? And do you have the courage to enjoy something you've never done before, and in fact, the end result surprised you? These are the little rewards in life that we should be grateful for, because simply growing up is a big deal.
I wish you lots of creativity and inspiration and boldly move forward in life.
