: T-Shirt design from an A4 drawing? I'll try to keep this as simple as I can. I'm just about to pen over a sketch on A4 paper but my intention is to print it on a shirt about A3 size.
I'll try to keep this as simple as I can.
I'm just about to pen over a sketch on A4 paper but my intention is to print it on a shirt about A3 size. It's also a design which doesn't look very well when vectored and my intention is to colour it in Photoshop.
I've done some practice scans and expanded the black outline a bit to A3 size and don't see too much a difference on screen but was wondering if it would show when printed? I know expanding anything on Photoshop is complete no but I'm trying to find a shortcut to purchasing A3 paper and starting again.
Also, if this doesn't work then are their any other solutions other than using a drawing tablet to computerize the sketch?
Thanks to anyone who can share their experience and answer the question :).

You could try scanning it in at something ridiculously high like 600 dpi, then resizing it in Photoshop down to 300 dpi but keeping the same pixel count (in other words - scan it in at 600 dpi; you end up with something like 4960 X 7016 pixels. Resize it to 300 dpi, but keep the actual pixel size at 4960 x 7016. You will now have an image that's larger than A4 but contain the same number of pixels. Since A3 @ 300 dpi (still probably fine for creating screens for t-shirts) is 3508 x 4961 you can scale and crop to get to A3 size from your original scan.
