I personally have been a big fan of Threadless for quite some time now. The designs they offer are, generally speaking, more beautiful, funny, or insightful than your run of the mill t-shirt. However, this might just be about to change. You see, I’ve posted a design to Threadless, and if it does not get printed, I promise I will throw a hissy fit and never use Threadless again!

Well, maybe not for a week or so at least.

As you can see, I’ve used a ton of the our free vectors. So if you like the design and want to support the site, give us a quick vote. I’ll love you forever if you do.

So over the past two months I’ve been painting these Panels of VQ’s Vectors. That got the boys and I over at ClickPop talking about how it was time to teach you how to create them too. It’s pretty simple, all you’ll need is:

-Panel, which can purchased online or at your local arts and craft store (Michaels, A.C. Moore, etc.)

-A can(s) of spray paint

-Black Chisel Tip marker (I prefer Grand & Toy, or Sharpie).

Below is just a shot of my panel.

Next you’re going to sketch out your drawing with a regular black marker, I used a sharpie for this part. My inspiration for this panel is from VQ’s vector of Paul and his Nuclear Warning vector

Next, go over your initial sketch with your Chisel Tipped Marker (Grand & Toy seem to work really well for this). Make sure your perimeter lines are at least the width of your chisel tip.

Now, grab your can of spray, and work from the outside of the canvas inward. Your paint is going to start drying before you finish painting the whole canvas, so be looking for any white that might come through. Be sure to get even lines. If you spray over your drawing, don’t worry about it, actually you can get some cool cell-shading effects by going over the lines a little.

Finish spraying the whole canvas. Let it dry for about 20 minutes (if your location is colder it may take longer).

Then take your canvas and go over all of your lines again with your Chisel Tipped Marker.

And then you’re done! Below is all four panels for the ClickPop Office. If you end up making millions on your panels, be sure to let me know. Enjoy! God bless you guys. -Weese

Maybe you should go check out weare.clickpopmedia.com to see the last two weeks along with this one. A Painted Panel Tri-Vecta! Well, that’s all the painting I did today. Have a lovely day, peace out, the Lord bless you.

This canvas was made possible by: some old spray paint given to us, and VQ digging into his deep, deep, very deep character repertoire!

I’ve been playing around in Photoshop recently while I’ve been trying to come up with a PS tutorial worthy of posting on this illustrious site.  Yesterday I decided to do a color study.  Here it is for y’all to enjoy.
