looks like this right here. This is a fun one to do. I'm going to show you how to do masks
and other things in there that you may not know about. So let's go!!

so in this video i'm doing it again i'm going to go into canva this is totally free i'm using the
free version of canva and i'm going to show you how to make another t-shirt design and this one
i'm going to show you a couple of fonts that i used and i'm going to show you how to do masking
so in my last video i kind of just covered things to mask it there's actually a way to mask things
in canva that's really easy they have lots of different shapes that you can
use and this tutorial you can follow along step by step there's lots of different things that you can
use if you're on the pro version but i'm gonna use the free version to show you that you can do some
of the things in the free version as well it's gonna be a pretty quick tutorial and hopefully
you can use these same techniques in other designs that you're making in the future so let's get to
canva right now so here i am on canva you can see i'm using the free version says free right there
all i'm going to do is start with create a design right here and custom size and i'm
going to use that 4 500 by 5400 which is the merch by amazon size so i'm clicking on that
okay and let's get started the thing that i want to do is do an anime but first i want to
do a mask so the first thing you want to do is click elements and do frame type the word frame
right here and you're going to see all these things you can put pictures in these frames it's
pretty cool so you can pick any one of these i'm going to scroll down and look for something pretty
unique let's see i love these kind of brush shapes i'm going to look for one that's kind of tall you
can see you can put it in letters and numbers just tons of things right um lots of different
things here scroll down scroll down you can put it in other things like this these are really
cool you could use for t-shirts as well and all of these are free that's what's cool about it
all of these frames are free so let's do this one this one's kind of unique so take a look at
that really unique there i'm gonna make it as big as i need to so maybe something like that
okay so i can just throw in a picture here but it's gonna mask it so i'm gonna need two of them
so let me do one more i'm gonna click on it hold down option and drag you can see now i have two
i'm gonna just put the other one here i'm gonna color the other one a background color and let me
just pick a color so remember the eye drop you can do this and pick one of these light colors
that's cool all right i'm gonna look for anime drawing so i'm gonna just type in anime that's
the thing about canva you can look for almost anything here and they have it
here's a free one a lot of these other ones are pro let's just look at graphics
so a lot of these other ones are pro and if you're on the pro version you got so many
different options i don't have that many options for the free version i got this one right here
so i'm going to drag this one into there you can see it's masking it already if you want to move
it down and change it click on it and hit crop or you could just double click on it and drag it
like this it's basically doing the same crop so i just want to see the eyes
and the face so you can see right there there's guides to tell you where to put the eyes and
face kind of centering it so you don't lose it i'm gonna do that let's see what that looks like yeah
so it's cropping it out you want this above this color this is gonna be in the back so position
back like that and we'll just move it so it fits there you go that's pretty cool right
and if you want the face bigger again you can click on it hit crop and just make this
big like that i think that would be really cool let's do even bigger so it's just the eyes
yeah that's pretty cool right okay so the next thing i want to do
i'm going to color the background so that we can see what it would look like on black so
click the background and let's just pick black here great because black shirts sell really well
on merch by amazon and other print on demand spots so let's put in some text here i'm gonna go to
text i'm just gonna type in heading right here and i'm gonna write i just
now i want a font that matches anime so i found a few i'm gonna just put it here
the first one that i found was called lazy dog so i'm gonna type in lazy dog
and you can see it's just like a handwritten font and i want that white so i can see it uh okay
just there and i'm gonna move this down and then find another font that kind of matches just gonna
copy this for now and then type really love whoops i gotta spell it right really love i'm gonna use
another font just kind of to give it some balance to give it some interest so instead of lazy dog
i found this other one that's kind of rounded it's called um bjork or something let me b-o-r
borster or sock borsog uh i just really love like this and i'm gonna curve this just a little bit
and remember how we do that we go here and hit effects and curve that's too much of a curve but
i just want a little bit to give it some interest like that i just really love okay now we can move
these two remember there's two so you're gonna have to kind of go over it like that really love
cool okay and then i'm gonna put anime and sketching so i'm going to use these same
fonts here so just hold down option and drag this it's going to be the same font
except i don't need the effect anymore so i'm going to take that off
and i'm going to type in anime see that nice rounded font it's really cool right thing i love
about canva is you can just drag the text to make it bigger you don't have to worry about i mean you
can use this and go up and down but it's really simple to just drag it so do about the same size
and right about here yeah that looks good center it and you the nice thing too is you can center
the font so you can see it kind of just locks right there and it's centered so you don't have
to worry if you're if your thing's centered or not is this centered yep right there is this centered
yep right there so really cool okay last thing so let's do this i'm going to use this
font right here option drag it down make sure this is in the front yeah front and sketching
cool just to give it more interest i'm going to make this a little
wider there that's kind of cool to give it a little more interest
because the word love here i'm going to add some heart so let's go to elements and type in hearts
lots of different hearts again remember we got to use the free one but if you're on
canva pro you can use any of these so many hearts um let's just do this one free heart
or should i do let's see if there's more rounded so this one's kind of a classic one i wanted
a more anime style so more rounded like these these are more rounded or these but those are
animated so let's see yeah this one's i like this one let's get rid of this one you can see this is
sharper curve this is a little just a little bit more rounded to match our style so always
look for that stuff that can match let's see your recommendation yeah these are some rounded ones
they're different colors so we're gonna have to make sure we color it so you can
turn it like this and just make it any size you know holding down option again copying
turning kind of fitting that space here i want to flip this one you can just go flip horizontal
look at that and these two fit right there and you can turn it really cool i love this color
over this dark color so i'm going to click on these and copy this color and i can do that by
clicking on the color palette and just picking that lighter color same thing here so i'm going
to just add a couple more hearts whoops you can always hit command z undo that works too
in canva so click on here option and drag and turn maybe i want this one smaller right there
uh maybe i want this turned this way instead i don't know just play around with it
have fun one more
right here turn it
i don't know maybe outside of it just have fun like that
yeah hey that's looking good the last thing i want to show you is i want to put some
japanese text here so i'm going to go to the internet and type in
i love anime in japanese and then paste it here so let me show you that right now so here i am on
google translate i just typed in google translate into google and i'm going to type in the words i
love anime right so that's english if i change this to japanese let's see just type in japanese
boom here it is and i'm gonna just double click on these and copy it so command c and then i'm gonna
go back to here and let's just copy this down here double click on it and command v paste it
in you can see it's right there it's pretty cool i'm going to make this a lot smaller so like 100
and we can make it bigger later so let's get rid of there we go and i want to find
a really cool font for this let's just make it just a little bit bigger so you can see
so i want it more rounded and thicker so one thing i've found is i can type in japanese here too
and there's some really cool ones you see this one's pretty thick sounds kind of
nice this one's nice and rounded i believe so look at that that one's really cool right so
just moving this around make sure that this is at the top man it is
okay so now you have that it's really neat
so there's the whole thing i just really love anime and sketching and this says i
love anime on the bottom really cool right so i'm just gonna take this i'm gonna download it
right now and then knock out this black and then put it on a t-shirt so just to finish it off here
i am on merch by amazon and i loaded it up on the t-shirt i knocked out that background so you can
see it looks good on different colors now navy olive red that's a nice one dark heather looks
really cool brown and stuff like that so have fun with this one hopefully you can use these
same techniques the arc tex the fonts the um background that masked background and japanese
text those are really going to be important for your next one i think you can do so many different
designs with these techniques uh you don't have to do anime you can do other things out there
you can mask different designs on there and have this really cool look that gives you some interest
right here right and so that's what you want you want a design that creates interest that people
are like oh that's really different i want to buy that so have fun with this these techniques
on camera totally for free make up your own designs don't copy this one come up with your own
phrases and things like that and have fun with it and make t-shirts that people want to buy before i
