Welcome to part one of my three part tutorial, which will show you how to draw the ear at the three most common angles. Part one will specifically show you how to draw the ear at the three quarters 3/4 angle. I recommend that you pause the video at the end of each step and listen to the instructions. Lets begin.

Step 1: Draw a football shape. When the ear is foreshortened, it slightly resembles a football.
Step 2: Make a candy cane shape. Notice that the candy cane closely resembles a letter C.
Step 3: Make a bubble letter C shape. Notice that the bottom of this shape is a triangle. Notice that this c shape is slightly more narrow than the ear from the side view.

Last week, my audience voted for the tutorial that they wanted on my Facebook page. And Iron Man was the most popular choice. Since this tutorial was directly chosen by my viewers, I wanted to make it extra special. As always, I am going to give you step by step instruction on how to get a likeness of Iron Man. But after the steps, I am going to try to do something special. I am going to teach you how to incorporate charcoal and fixative in to a drawing so that you can layer it like a painting. This video will be a little longer than usual, but it will be packed with great information. Grab your pencils and some drawing paper. Lets begin.

You've asked for it so here it is. This video will give you step by step instruction on how to draw Ms. Stefani Germanotta....also known as Lady Gaga. Grab your pencil and paper and pause the video at the end of each step and you will be able to draw her.

Step 1: Draw the shapes that you see. Notice that it is a slightly longer distance from the bottom of the sunglasses to the chin, than from the top of the sunglasses to the hairline.
Step 2: This shape does not have to be perfect so dont stress out. The hair is obviously widest at the bottom... but also notice that it is a similar distance from top of the head to the chin and from the chin to the bottom of the hair.
Step 3: In step three, we start to define Gaga's clothes. Also, add in the nose and some details to the sunglasses. There will be a close up of the face very soon if you cant see the details in this slide.
Step 4: Add the mouth and eyebrows.
Step 5: Add the details for the hair. Please note that the details do not have to be identical to mine.
Step 6: Add Lady Gaga's jacket.

This is the face detail slide. Take some time to check if your face proportions are correct.

A portrait of Vladimir (Wladimir) Lenin by Merrill Kazanjian. Dry Brush Oil painting on watercolor paper. I did a detailed pencil sketch on to the watercolor paper before laying down any paint. I am using Lamp Black oil paint (a black cooler in temperature). I am mixing the Lamp Black on Canvas paper. When I want to get a lighter tone, I mix the black with paint thinner (mineral spirits). When the black is more concentrated, it is darker. When the black is more diluted (with the mineral spirits) it does not have the same covering power and seems lighter in tone. FYI- Lenin died in 1924...but was NOT buried. He is "resting in state" for all to see in a mausoleum in Downtown Moscow. I used two round tipped brushes to do this artwork- One Size 5 medium and one Size three Medium. Both were (Synthetic) Sable. The only areas which I went dark black (pure paint no mineral spirits) right away were the eyes and the bottom of the eyebrows. I am working from three different reference images; all are within five years of his death. UMM.....yeah....thats Smirnoff Vodka to the left. To get inspired while drawing a Russian subject!!! Dont worry! Merrill RARELY gets "inspired" anymore! Kinda looks like Sean Connery now! ......But Lenin is not a "Shecks Shymbol" like "double O Sheven"..SHHHHHPLENDID! I usually finish the eyes first, but I wanted the eyes to be done last for Lenin, since his eyes are so intense. In other words, when the tones are set for the rest of the face, I can respond and stylize the eyes. When you darken the background, it allows you to draw more attention to the face. It also gives you a chance to "play up" the tones! The traditional approach is a criss cross- (Lighter side of face with darker background.....and vice versa) I am now putting on the finishing touches with prismacolor color pencils. Black White and Neutral Gray.
Music is by Kevin MacLeod of Incompetech.com. Songs- Song of the Volga Boatmen, Padanaya Blokov and Amazing Plan. Портрет Владимира (Владимира) Ленина Merrill Kazanjian. Картина маслом на бумаге акварелью. Я сделал подробный эскиз карандашом на акварельной бумаги, прежде чем заложить вниз от краски. Я использую лампы Черного масляной краской (черный кулер температуры). Я смешивания Лампа черного на бумаге, холсте. Когда я хочу получить светлый оттенок, я сочетание черного с краски (уайт-спирита). Когда черный более концентрированной, она темнее. Когда черный ослабляется (с уайт-спирита) он не обладает такими же полномочиями покрытие и, кажется, легкие тона. FYI-Ленин умер в 1924 году ..., но не похоронили. Он "отдыхал в состоянии" на всеобщее обозрение в мавзолее в центре Москвы. Я использовал две круглые щетки наконечником для этого работа-One Размер 5 средних и один размер 3 среде. Оба они были (синтетические) Соболь. Только области, которые я пошел черными (чистые краски не-спирита) сразу же были глаза, и в нижней части брови. Я работаю с трех разных образах ведения; все они в течение пяти лет его смерти. УММ ..... да .... тот Водка Smirnoff налево. Чтобы получить вдохновение во время рисования в русское подданство! Dont беспокойтесь! Merrill редко получает "вдохновил" больше!

Link- http://merrillk.com/index.php?part=fineart&articles_id=5315&collection=114 In this video, I will demonstrate how to build tones while drawing. I will teach you about drawing pencils and when and how to use them. And I will demonstrate the drawing technique of cross hatching. But, this time I am going to do something different....You have the option to follow along! I decided to go the extra mile and provide you with a worksheet for the final segment of this video. Take a second to go to http://merrillk.com and type in "shading resource"...print it out and do your best. We have a lot to cover, so lets start off with learning about pencils.

Key Points
- Start out with a light to neutral pencil and go darker as you go on.
- Each row of hatches should be done at a slightly different angle to the previous row.
-When you cross hatch you should build your tones up slowly
- You can differentiate your tones through adding pressure to the pencil but dont dent the paper or things will get more difficult.
- To make neat hatches, use the tip that I gave you (put a piece of paper by the edge)
-A slip sheet prevents smudges

This piece took me two hours to make! Take your time

The Long and Winding Road of YouTube searches has brought you here and today, YOU are going to draw an excellent portrait of John Lennon with a little help from your friend Merrill of course. Under ideal circumstances I would want to hold your hand to directly assist you with this portrait; but since im a real Nowhere Man; your high speed internet connection and this step by step tutorial will have to do.

But Rest assured,we can work it out since this video is available to you on YouTube eight days a week! All that You will need ......Is Love, a pencil and workable listening skills. Ill take care of the rest. I recommend that you pause the video at the end of each step and hit the link in the video description to go to my cheat sheet for this video. It will definitely help you. Lets get started



Step 1: Draw the three shapes that you see. Notice that the three shapes resemble a childs drawing of a car.
Step 2: Make the two crescent moon shapes that I just added.
Step 3: Make the nose shape. Notice that the length of the nose is equal with the height of the forehead. Here is a close up
Step 4: Make the moustache and the mouth.
Step 5: Add the details that I just added to the eyes. Be sure to notice their placement within the frames of the glasses. Here is a close up.
Step 6: Observe and add the outline of John Lennon's face. Stop at the chin.
Step 7: Add the other side of John Lennon's face and then add the "P" shape.
Step 8: Add John's hair. But dont stress out if it's not perfect. Just let it be.

Hey its Merrill. I recommend that you watch parts 1 and 2 before you watch Part 3... Click on the pictures to see parts 1 and 2.Welcome to part 3 of my workshop on proportions for portrait drawing ... This series is made for art students and this part will cover the profile (side) view of the head. I hope to give you some easy to remember rules and a formula, so that you will be able to draw the human head from your memory. Lets get started by reviewing what we learned already. Videos one and two proved that 1.) The eyes are not at the center of the head. 2.) Its generally five eye lengths across the face if you include the ears. 3.) Its one eye length between the two eyes. 4.) The outer corners of the nose generally lines up with the outer edge of the tear duct in the eye. 5.) The corners of the mouth is generally not as wide as the midpoint of the eye (but its close) 6.) The ears generally fall between the upper eyelid and the bottom of the nose. Now, lets look at the head from the side/profile view and add to our existing knowledge. 1.) The first question asks. Is the head more tall?......... or is it more deep? In other words, lets compare the distance between the chin and the top of the head.......Wow, it looks close......but there is a strange reason for that...........Observe the slope of the forehead and the shape of the top of the head. When we measure from the jaw line we go up to the top front of the head.......which is lower in height than the back of the head when we are looking forwards. Notice the difference when we measure the distance from the chin to the top....back of the head....there is no comparison anymore. For our purposes, lets think of the head as an egg shape from the side. But the egg is not straight up and down, it is at an angle.......HMMMM egg shaped....maybe Stewie's head isn't that out of proportion.Now that we understand the basic shape of the head from the side, lets look for universal rules. A good place to start is Leonardo DaVinci 2.) Leonardo said, "The distance from the middle of the nose to the bottom of the chin, is half the length of the face." This rule applied to all 8 of the models.....and the middle of the nose as a half way point, compliments what we learned in Video 1 and 2. Lets add it to our formula.3.) Leonardo also measured the distance between the chin and the throat and the mouth and the bottom of the chin as equal distances. This rule applied to all 8 of the models.4.) he also said, "From the chin to the back of the neck, is the same distance as between the mouth and the roots of the hair." Once again, this rule applied to all 8 models.The three previous rules were helpful, but some of Davinci's formula didnt apply to our models......For instance, The space from the chin to the base of the nose e f is the third part of the face and equal to the length of the nose and to the forehead. This breaks the face up in to three equal parts....but it only applied to five of our models.
Finally, DaVinci stated, "From the eyebrow to the junction of the lip with the chin, and the angle of the jaw and the upper angle where the ear joins the temple will be a perfect square.......... Zero out of eight people formed a perfect square from the four points that DaVinci named. I am mentioning this because we should keep the relationship between these four points in the back of our mind when we draw from observation, but lets leave them out of our proportion formula. One of the biggest mistakes that students make when drawing the head from profile is the depth of the ear, or on other words, how far back it is from the face. I recently came across a website that stated that the ear is exactly half the distance between the face and the back of the head.......WRONG!!!! It is definitely further back than that. The green line measures the distance from the face to the midpoint of the ear and the red line measures the distance between the midpoint of the ear and the back of the head. I estimate that the midpoint of the ear is 55 to 70 percent of the distance from the face to the back of the head. Be sure to notice that there is a range of values rather than a universal rule, so we will have to average our answer. Now I am going to test a measurement from one of my former teachers at the Art Students League of New York who taught me that there is an imaginary equilateral triangle that connects the pupil, the back arch of the ear and the chin. When I tested this measurement, it existed in 7 of the 8 people I measured. However, there is a flaw to this system. Notice that the bottom point exists at different points on the jaw line. But overall, this measurement helps us see that it is usually an equal distance between the eyes and the chin, the eyes and the ear and the chin and the ear.

Step 1: Notice the perfect square that is formed between the center points of Rihanna's eyes and the two corners of her mouth. Start your drawing by making four dots on your paper that form a perfect square.
Step 2: Make the circles exactly as you see them. No, Rihanna doesn't have a floating eye, just trust me.
Step 3: Put in the shapes for Rihanna's eyes. Notice how the new shapes overlap the circle shapes from step 2.
Step 4: Add the eyelids.
Step 5: Rihanna has a contract with Cover Girl so add a lot of mascara to the eyelashes.
Step 6: You need to do two simple things for step six. Center the pupil for the eye on the left and connect the two lines for the mouth.
Step 7: Add the M shape for the upper lip. Notice that it's height is similar to the height of the white part of the eye.
Step 8: Add the banana shape for the bottom lip. Notice that it is about twice the thickness of the upper lip. Also, be sure to notice the shape in between the two lips.
Step 9: Now add Rihanna's nose. Oh relax, this is the hardest thing that I am going to ask you to do. Notice how the septum fits perfectly in to the indentation at the top of the upper lip Also notice that the nostril line is about two thirds down the square shape that we began with.
Step 10: Add the eyebrows.
Step 11: Now its time to add the chin. Here is a tip to make it easy. Measure the distance from the eyebrows to the bottom of the nose. It will be the same distance from the bottom of the nose to the chin and from the hairline to the eyebrows.
Step 12: Give Rihanna her Marge Simpson hair. Hair moves all the time. Do not feel the pressure to copy the hair in my drawing perfectly.
Step 13: Rihanna has an album called "Loud" so I guess that we should give her ears. Notice that the ears line up between the eyebrows and the bottom of the nose.
Step 14: I promised you S&M so now its time to shade and model. Lightly put in these shadow lines around the eyes and the nose.

I used this image - http://www.flickr.com/photos/5....1051231@N06/47365468 It has a creative commons license

Part 1- I will start this drawing by taking a second to look at my reference photograph on the left. I try to see the mouth as one big shape first and I try to match that shape as best as I can to start. Next, I break the mouth in to three smaller shapes. I notice that the top lip looks like a flattened McDonalds Arch and the bottom lip looks similar to a crescent moon shape. The area in between is more complex but that is ok since I can create that shape by noticing the nuances of upper and lower lip.

Part 2- Take a second to notice that the lower lip is slightly fuller than the top lip. This is true for every person. Once I am somewhat satisfied with the upper and lower lip, I start to notice the space between the lips. That space is divided between the upper teeth and the negative space below the teeth. Please notice that when a person smiles, the bottom lip comes up and blocks the lower set of teeth. Many people make the mistake of drawing the upper and lower teeth in a smile. While drawing the teeth, I am very careful about not pressing too hard. Notice that there are NO dark tones, separating the teeth, only light to medium ones. The front of our face is rounded and the formations of the upper and lower sets of teeth are in a horseshoe shape. When drawing a person from the front, notice that as the teeth go further back towards the throat, they become more foreshortened. Also, as the teeth go back towards the throat, they are blocked more in a smile by the lips and are more shadowed. Be careful because this can easily be overdone. The color of the teeth are not white, they are bone colored, which is a cool off white.

It is a conscious choice for me to start this drawing with color pencil. I use color pencil because the fine tip of the color pencil gives me a lot of accuracy, and also because, color pencils can be mixed with oil paint. You will see me mix color pencil with oil paint in step four.

Part 3- At this point I am satisfied with the placement of all of my shapes. Once that task is accomplished, I focus on building tones and colors. In other words, my focus to this point has been to get all of the pieces of the puzzle in to the right place and now, I can have fun by mixing colors and matching tones. I try to also notice the qualities of the edges of shapes. For instance, there is a fuzzy, unclear edge between the upper lip and the gums above the teeth. It is there but it is hard to see. In contrast, there is a solid, distinct edge between the upper teeth and the darker area of negative space, below the teeth.

Color pencil is a great medium for a contemporary artist to learn. I greatly value the accuracy and detail work that can be achieved with color pencils. The flaws to this medium is that color pencil cannot be layered as well as paint, since it doesn't fully dry. Its biggest strength is also a big weakness. The fine tip of the color pencil, covers surfaces at an extremely slow rate. Both weaknesses can be fixed however. I found that if you dip a paintbrush in a painting medium called Liquin and start to paint, the color pencils essentially pick up the properties of oil paint. In the next step, I will use liquin and mix it with both the oil paint atop of the color pencil.

Part 4- Now I am painting with Liquin and oil paint over the color pencil. They are very compatible with each other and are essentially made with the same materials. The pigment of the color pencil is bound with wax; and wax has been used in parts of many painting mediums throughout the history of oil painting.

Oil paint is considered a traditional medium but many of its artistic capabilities have not yet been matched by other, newer mediums. Oil paint gives to the ability to work opaque, transparently and translucently. Today, I am using the combination of the oil paint and the liquin to soften my color pencil drawing below. I am using small soft paintbrushes and they pick up some of the color that was left below. The paintbrush is a great tool to create soft blends. That makes perfect sense if you compare it to the tip of a color pencil

People, get ready. Three Little Birds asked me to do a step by step tutorial on how to draw Bob Marley. So Get up! Stand up. Grab a pencil because today YOU are going to draw one of the greatest musicians that ever lived. What? No art experience? No woman no cry! Don't worry about a thing...... in other words everything is gonna be alright. This train is bound for glory and you are a passenger my friend. Just listen to my step by step instructions and pause the video at the end of each step and I think that you will surprise yourself. Could you be loved? I dont know. Thats a multi faceted question with a lot of factors. Go ask Dr. Phil. Could you make a successful portrait of Bob Marley? I can answer that. Yes you can.

Before we begin, I recommend that you watch this video on my website. I made an additional cheat sheet tutorial with photos and text. There is also a supply list and an extended shading tutorial. Just hit the link in the video description below the video player. Lets get started.

Step 1: Draw the shape that you see. Really it is two shapes, Bob Marley's silhouette and the background. These shapes do not have to be perfect in order for this portrait to be successful.
Step 2: Draw the M shape that I just added, Notice where it intersects with the shape from step one.
Step 3: Add the shapes for the collar on his shirt.
Step 4: Add the shape for the neck. It kind of looks like a cat's head.
Step 5: Add the shape for Bob Marleys face. Notice the tilt of his head and the placement within the hair shape and above the cat's head shape from the previous step.
Step 6: Add in the shapes for the eyes. Here is a close up.
Step 7: Add in the shape for the nose. The other shapes surrounding the nose are shadow lines and facial hair. All together, this shape sort of resembles a crab.
Step 8: Add the four shapes for the mouth. Notice that the top two are slightly bigger than the bottom two.
Step 9: Draw in the shape for the eyes. Take some extra time to observe where each shape falls within the eye shape.
Step 10: Draw in the shape for the teeth. There are 8 teeth visible. Notice the dark values in the corner of the mouth.
Step 11: Add the shapes in to the hair and in to the clothing. Don't stress, these shapes do not have to be super accurate.
Step 12: Partially erase the lines from step 11. We are going to use charcoal and the dry brush technique. Dark pencil lines will show through.

This video will give you step by step instruction on how to draw hands folded in prayer.......But we are not going to draw just any pair of praying hands, we are going to recreate Albrecht Durer's study of praying hands, in pencil. If you are nervous to attempt one of the most spectacular drawings of the Northern Renaissance and one of the most famous drawings of all time, have no fear, you will not need to rely on divine intervention.....
As I was saying.....I got your back. Just hit the link in the video description and you will be taken to a page with text and photo resources to help you along. Are you ready? Lets do this!
Step 1: Draw the three shapes that you see. The bottom shape resembles a bowl, the middle shape is trapezoidal and the top shape is triangular. Together, these shapes resemble a Christmas tree.
Step 2: Add the double shape for the thumbs. Notice that the closer thumb is the exact height of the trapezoid.
Step 3: Add the palm of the right hand.
Step 4: Add the fingers of the right hand.
Step 5: Add the shapes at the bottom.
Step 6: This is a tricky and important step. We are carving out fingers. Use the lines left from previous steps as comparison points. Notice that the fingertips go above and outside of the triangle shape. Also notice where the lines that separate the fingers, end in the trapezoid shape. Here is a close up.
Step 7: Add the details on the right hand. Here is a close up.
Step 8: Now, we are going to put in the shapes for shading. DO NOT feel the pressure to be exact. If its slightly different than mine, IT IS OK!!!!.....Lets start with the thumb. Add the shadow shapes that you see. DO NOT press too hard on the pencil.
Step 9: Add the shading to the lower part of the left hand.
Step 10: Shade the middle of the left hand.
Step 11: Shade lightly between the fingers.
Step 12: Add the fingernails and the oval shapes at mid finger. Notice that the oval shapes are not parallel with each other.
Step 13 Add the shading to the palm and wrist of the right hand.
Step 14: Add the shading to the top of the right hand.
Step 15 Shade the fingers of the right hand.
Step 16: Use the blending stump (tortillion) to smudge the edges of the shapes (see the process in the video above)
Step 17: Fingers are rounded shapes. Use the blending stump to smudge the lines between the fingers. Leave some space for a highlight towards the left (your left); where the light is coming from.
Step 18: The shading should get darker as you move from left to right. Press a little harder and use the higher number B pencils. I used a 2B and 6B pencil as I progressed.
Step 19: By now, your drawing should look similar to this. The bony structure of the back of the hand is starting to get "defined". Use your eraser and HB pencil to draw what you see here. Do your best, this is a DIFFICULT task; but it gets easier if you look back at your reference image often.
Step 20: Now, Start pressing a little bit harder with your B pencils (2B.3B,4B,5B,6B,7B,8B). Focus on the edges.
Step 21: NOTICE the DIFFERENCE of EDGES. They are NOT all the same!!!!!! Some are hard, some are soft, some are dark, some are light.
Step 22: USE THE ERASER! It is a fantastic drawing tool. In the video you will see me use a kneaded eraser as well as the one on the back of a pencil.
Step 23 is optional. I decided to shade the background to bring the highlights out on the hand. WHITE highlights on WHITE background does not work!!!!!!
Step 24: Its OK to use your fingers..........Sometimes......but especially at the end of a drawing rather than the beginning (the oils in your hand will affect the paper at the beginning of a drawing).

I also dedided (very late) to add the shirt sleeve. MY BAD!!! See the video (above) for tips on this.

You requested it and I listened. This video will teach you how to draw Drake. What's that you say, you failed art class? You have a low frustration tolerance and you have a fear of pencils. No problem! Check out the gallery on my website or my facebook like page and you'll see that thousands of people successfully completed my tutorials. And many had no previous art training. So even if you've had all of your fingers amputated and a nervous twitch, I got you covered. If you can draw shapes, you can successfully draw Drake.

Step 1: Make the shape that you see.
Step 2: Make the second shape, notice that it is about the same height as the first shape.
Step 3:Round out the shape for Drake's hair. Notice that it is slightly wider on your right side.
Step 4: Make the two egg shapes.
Step 5: Make the shape that you see, notice that it is the same height as the forehead shape and the hair shape.
Step 6: Make the lines for the nose. Notice the placement of these lines, compared to the egg shapes for the eyes.
Step 7: Drake needs ears. Dont stress out about the minor details. Notice that these shapes line up with the nose shape.
Step 8: Make the bowl shape for the chin. Notice that it is slightly taller than the main shapes above it.
Step 9: Make the neck and the body. Do it fast and save all of your concentration for the proper placement of the face shapes.
Step 10: Add the two shapes for Drake's lips.
Step 11: Add Drakes super thick eyebrows to the tops of the egg shapes from step four.
Step 12: Add the upper eye lines. Notice the shapes that are created in between the eyebrow shapes and the upper eyes. This will help you get the placement correct. Also, as a general rule, there is one eye length in between each eye. This is not the case for Drake. There is slightly more space between the eyes.
Step 13: Make the U shapes for the pupil and iris and close the eye shapes.

This video will teach anyone, regardless of artistic ability, how to draw Albert Einstein Step by Step.

Welcome to part two of my triple tutorial, which will show you how to draw the ear at the three most common angles. Part two will specifically show you how to draw the ear at the side profile angle. I recommend that you pause the video at the end of each step and listen to the instructions. Lets begin.

Step 1- Make a closed C shape. The placement of the ear falls between the bottom of the eyebrows and the bottom of the nose. Be sure to notice that the angle of the ear follows the jawline. It is not straight up and down.
Step 2- Make the candy cane shape. Notice that the candy cane closely resembles a smaller C shape.
Step 3- Make a bubble letter C shape. Notice that the bottom of this shape is a triangle. How to draw ears.

Ah paintings, there is nothing like staring at a painting all day and night.....its quite riveting .....Dont you think?

Riveting? Well, yes and no. While I appreciate painting and enjoy visiting museums. Every artist making work today has to acknowledge that art has changed with the times, and perhaps a canvas is not the best place to display your artwork. Think about it. 2D works painted on canvas are competing for wall space with flat screen televisions. Even if you dont have it, imagine yourself with ADHD.....what would you choose?.....exactly my point.

This tutorial is going to give you an alternative to the gallery wall. A T-Shirt. If you want publicity for your art, dont stick it in a local library exhibition, wear it proudly on your chest.

Here is what you will need: 1.) Scanner 2.) Ink Jet Printer 3.) Iron 4.) Fabric Transfer paper. What is Fabric Transfer Paper you ask? All it is, is a special type of paper that gets ironed on to a shirt, after a design is printed on it, from an inkjet printer. (I use Avery Dark Fabric Transfers for the shirts I make).

1.) The first thing that you will need to do is to scan or photograph your favorite artwork and save it as a JPEG file on your computer.
2.) After that, open up the scanned file in any photo editing program and crop your image. Please note that if you use Avery dark transfer paper, you will not need to flip the image. If you use another brand, be sure to read the directions carefully, because most brands of transfer paper require you to flip the image during this step.
3.) Next, place the paper white side down in the printer and press print. You should get close to a perfect copy of your original artwork
4.) After you print, grab a scissor, its time to trim your image. Cutting is an art form so be sure to be neat when you cut. If you use the dark fabric transfers, any area that you do not cut out will be white. Usually I leave an eighth of an inch border around my artwork, but I did not for this image. Cutting is usually the longest and most annoying step of the process, but be sure not to rush yourself.
5.) After you cut, peel the paper off of the back of the image like you are seeing me do here. The image part is flexible and very difficult to rip so dont worry about that. It helped me to fold a corner before I peeled.
6.) For the final step, use the collar tag to center your image on the front or the back of a shirt. Make sure that neither the fabric of the shirt or the image is wrinkled. Avery supplies you with special heat resistant paper to place over the image and the t-shirt while ironing. After the iron is heated to a high setting, and the special paper is placed, press down firmly with the iron as you are seeing me do here.

Now lift up the paper and viola! you can now mass produce and wear your drawing. For information on where to buy the paper that I used in this video, hit the link in the video description. Thanks for watching!

Note, Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night was shown at the beginning of the video. This artwork has entered the public domain.
