"How are you doing today? Welcome, my name is Lars Erik Robinson with LarsEr Arts and I thought we would talk about how to airbrush on shirts and clothes. As you can see I have a shirt here already and I started drawing. I use a light pencil and got an idea of where an idea of where I'm going to go with this. What you have to keep in mind is that you can never go back because you can never go dark on a white shirt, you can't go over the dark again so I'm writing awesome because I believe maybe I'm awesome because I love how this effect comes out. I started out as a graffiti artist so I definitely know how to do bubble letters and I went to art school. So we can take this and we can make it fly out at you and we can take a stencil and you can use stencils on clothes too. This kind of helps the whole, if you want to do a chrome effect in there you can take the edge of that piece and create a chrome effect. Isn't that awesome? So that is how you have to understand it you can't go over it again if you want to get darker. If you want to go on top of this it is going to be very hard to take a light and go on top of it because you have to work from light to dark on clothes and once you are done with this you just take a hair dryer and dry it on there and then you can wash it and use that. I'm using the regular create text paints but you could also use textile paints, whatever you want. So enjoy, keep airbrushing."
