        I want to put up some of my flat art on cafe’press and I was wondering what do I color the pictures with. Now mind that I don’t have a grahics tablet.
        I tried painting them with acrylic,I tried high quality colored pencils and I tried to color them on the computer using adobe photo shop.
        When I scan them at high resolution they look horrible. You can see the brush strokes and the lines…
        I’d really like to try my hand at some t-shirt ideas and I’m at a loss as how to get my art work on the site and have it retain it’s quality. Since they want it at a resolution of 300 DPI and saved in PNG the finished product looks chunky.
        So any idea??

          I’m not too familiar with Cafepress…have you tried coloring in prisma markers?

          I think even if you scan in your images at a high resolution and they “look funny” all those tiny details won’t ALL show up once they get printed on things-especially if they are printed on smaller things like tote bags or mugs. And too, probably the details you don’t want, will get lost in the printing process. I hear Cafepress has some high quality items, but I doubt you’d be able to see brush strokes. ❓ Sorry I couldn’t be of more help
