2. Selection is the key. Choose based on available space and aesthetics.
3. Finalize your rough sketch. You’ll refine it later.

Part 2: Time to Clean Up in Photopea 🖌️

Objective

Remove all that cluttering text and elements, my darlings.

You gotta start somewhere, right? First things first, import your design into Photopea — usually a 1024x1024 PNG file does the trick. Grab the brush tool and scrub away the unwanted text until it's shinier than a new mug from SarsariCreations. Yes, you can adjust the brush size! What if there are stubborn elements like stars? Brush 'em off too! 🌟

Tip: Use the eyedrop tool for color-matching like a pro.

List of Must-Have Tools:

• Brush Tool 🖌
• Eyedrop Tool 👁‍🗨
• Import Option ⬆️

How-To:

1. Import the design as a 1024x1024 PNG.
2. Grab the brush tool and sweep away unwanted text.
3. Adjust the brush size. Go big or go home.
4. Erase specific elements like stars or borders.

Quick Tip: The eyedrop tool is your best friend. It helps you pick the exact color you need to paint over areas seamlessly.

You could be designing the next hit Women on the Rise t-shirt or the coolest calendar of 2023.

Design Finalization 🏁

• Circles, stars, and symmetry – Oh my!
• Ensure your design fits various T-shirt colors.

Saving and Scaling 🗂️

• Save as a PNG with a transparent background.
• This design isn’t just for T-shirts; think Amazon Merch or Puzzles for kids and grown-ups. 🎁

List of Phrases for That Positive Retro Vibe:

1. Groovy Baby
2. Far Out
3. Staying' Alive
4. Peace, Love and Rock 'n' Roll
5. That's Dynamite
