    Thanks everyone.
    the background was not planned at all,,i painted the eagle first but found that it needed something to make the bird stand out more it looked kind of flat to the grayish shirt,,so i applyed some soft green/yellow colors and grass

    thanks again

    Thanks Greger

    i'm using a iwata hp-ch and Golden Fluid Acrylics,+ Gac900
    A liquid acrylic polymer emulsion which when heat-set offers a very soft hand and laundering stability. This product is most useful to artists painting on clothing. GAC 900 can be blended with various acrylic colors to produce fabric paints that can be airbrush,

    Thanks Kimmo,

    I'm trying to find paint that will work really well with my HP-C and BC1 Plus's smaller needle size on T-shirts when they are thinned down enough to spray well. I'll look for the GAC900 and give it a try!

    Thanks for the information kimmo.

    Great looking Eagle. I have a question, when I draw on light color material my light color paint does not always cover the pen lines. what do you draw your design with? Also what do you use to draw on dark color shirts to get clean lines?

    You might try using watercolor pencils for doing the layout drawings, using the colors or something close to them that you will actually paint will help you avoid the odd lines showing through, and the watercolor pencils won't have any negative effects on the paint layed on top of them.
    You can use the colors to help remind you of what colors go where. While this may sound silly, it's easy to get carried away with a color when you are painting, covering areas with something you never intended and don't really want for the finished product. The colored pencils help you with kind of a paint by number or color effect.
