ASK JAMMER

Hey everyone, welcome to this installment of Ask Jammer. I received a few e-mails asking me if I could do a school sports design so I decided to show you all an oldie but goodie that sells very well. You might sell just one, or you might do this design for a whole squads. I’m going to do a cheerleading design that can be customized by changing the colors to accommodate your local school colors. This design was done for one of the local schools where I’m

from, and is also my Alma Mater, the Northern Lebanon Vikings! This design was done on a 50/50 blend white tee, using my Badger Anthems, Vega 2000 and Iwata Eclipse airbrushes. Paint used was Aqua Flow golden yellow and brown and ETAC blue, black, and white. I’m also including pictures of the stencils used for this design, which you can scan and enlarge them to a standard sheet of paper; print them out they will be the perfect size.

Step1: First thing you want to do is spray some adhesive on the megaphone sten- cil and place it on the shirt about 1/3 to 1/2 way down.

Step2: Take golden yellow and airbrush a half circle over the top of the mega- phone followed by spraying a light mist all around the megaphone. By doing this the last bit it will give you a reference where to add your line work later.

Step3: Now you want to use a straight edge, anything will do I used a folder in this picture. Hold it in place about an inch under the megaphone with the opposite hand you airbrush with. Use blue to add dagger strokes in a half-starburst pattern and fade out some of the blue from the straight edge either side.

Step4: Remove the megaphone stencil and this is what you should have at this point. You can clearly see where your lines will go for the mega phone.

Step5: It’s time to add our cheerleader for which we will use a stencil to paint her. Place some spray adhesive on the backside of the stencil and try and cen- ter it in the design. Once in place use your black and fill in the stencil.

Step6: Remove the stencil and this is what you should have.
