You know you'll get the hang of it over time I've heard some people like use tablets too for me like it would be pretty pointless at this point because I am just good enough with the mouse I think I don't think using a tablet bootleg tees would improve Things much but if you have a tablet lying around or you have access to one try using that too because you might find that that actually works better for you you know I want everyone to just use whatever is best you know I just just want what's best for you guys all right so we've got our shape cut out I'm going to select both these layers and hit command G to group them together and then I'm gonna duplicate the group right away hitting command.
Best Ever Bootleg T-Shirts
J so that's basically so that we'll always have this you know with the layers intact we can go back and for some reason we lock up later we can just revert back to the original so with this new group right away I'm going to right click on it and convert to a smart object and we're about to get into the coloring of this image so the first thing you want to do is make sure it's mostly black and white if you still have like a lot of these gray values in it it's just not gonna color correctly so I'm gonna go to image adjustments brightness contrast make sure legacy is checked and I'm just gonna increase the contrast lower the brightness again increase the contrast a bit and just sort of eyeball it until you know you can have a little bit of that gray left in there.
Vintage Casual Style makes This Bootleg tee Unique and Stylish
