HOW TO MAKE A DRAWING ON CLOTHES USING INEXPENSIVE TOOLS

How to make drawings without thermal paper on clothes? You can buy expensive felt-tip pens for painting on fabric, but you can get by with cheaper means.
Here, for example, I want to make a drawing with ordinary permanent felt-tip pens or wax pencils. But how to fix the pattern on the fabric so that it does not blur after washing? I tried a variety of adhesives, sealants, acrylic varnishes for this and as a result this master class turned out.
So, one day I decided to draw a finch.
First of all, I transferred a sketch of a bird to my eye with a red thin permanent marker

Then I had to circle the drawing with a black thin marker, since the red color turned out to be too faded - that was the calculation: you can fix the design flaws, if that.
Then I put a newspaper inside the shirt and painted the body of the bird with wax pencils, and then walked on top with thick felt-tip pens.
This was done in order for oil wax pencils to play their water-repellent role and to prevent felt-tip pens from spreading over the fabric.
Also, permanent markers, unlike felt-tip pens, spread less and give a color transition from one to another - which is visible on the feathers of the wings - in contrast to acrylic paints.

So it's time to fix our picture!

The photo shows which sealant was used - transparent silicone, without additives, brand "Novbytkhim", was purchased at a construction supplies store. The sealant is applied exclusively with fingers and is evenly smeared according to the drawing, and slightly behind the drawing for secure fixing. Then you need to wait half an hour to dry and walk with a hot iron to make the surface smoother. It is better to put a newspaper inside the shirt so that the silicone does not crack from the temperature. And voila!
