Artist's Comments

Btw - forgot to add the final step (not shown) that makes it look more realistic. Use filter > distort > twirl on the strokes layer (just a little!) to give it that final touch.

Anyway.
I wanted to make a Tie Dye effect for a recent piece (see here [link] ) and searched fruitlessly for hours for a tutorial that created the exact effect I wanted.

So I made it up.

Assuming that someone else out there may want to know how to do this, I did this tutorial based on the steps I took. Now you have the benefit of knowing how to do it too, without the 45 minutes of screwing around with different ways of doing it to get it right! : D

enjoy

(And if you use it, I'd love to see how you did - feel free to comment with a link, and I'll check it out!)

This is very informative. I've never seen a tutorial for tie dye before. I may use it sometime; if so I'll be sure to link. :)

This is a neat tutorial!

What brush did you use for the layer of white strokes?

I just used the default hard brush, it tapered (naturally?) for me because I use a tablet. You could probably use the pen/vector tool to get tapered white lines.

Excellent, thanks for the quick response!

I have a tablet at work so I might try that aswell as the pen tool.

Thanks!
