Preparing a Shirt for Airbrushing

Video Transcript

"I'm going to get this shirt ready to paint. Just put it on the board. Now, I know the first video, I kind of briefly showed you what we were going to do, so you can get a heads up on where we're going with this. Pull your shirt over the board. Step to the side so you, I make a better door, than a window, don't I? You want to pull it to where you want to try to get this seam even with the top, get your collar even through here. And, now you see wrinkles, this shirt wasn't as wrinkled because whenever I take my shirts out of the box I fold them to purposely keep them from wrinkling up. Now, you want to take your clothespins, pull your sleeves so you don't have that wrinkle, and maybe this line is a little straighter, little neater, put a clothespin right there and it holds it in place. You want to do the other sleeve the same. And, sometimes if you don't, if your board is not the right size, see this here is stretched just enough, you don't want to stretch it too much cause it will distort everything when you take it off. Just make sure your wrinkles are pulled out. If you want to pull, tug on it a little bit, maybe pull it back, put your clothespin on it, get your wrinkle out. Sometimes, you can take this seam and roll it over the edge like this to where you can't see it because if you're painting a large portrait or something, or something large on the shirt, it'll catch on this edge and it'll make it look bad. Roll it up, put your clothespin on it, and you're ready to paint."
