The first thing you need to do when working with screen printing is to select an image. I am going to work with this digital image of a bird because it is simple and bold. Begin to consider the material that you will be printing on whether that is a T-shirt or canvas or paper. Also think about what ink color or colors will work for you. Remember you may also start with a drawing or a photograph rather than a digital file. Working with an original drawing will only slightly change the process I am going to describe but it is essentially the same. I will try to make note of what those differences in process will be.
