Snoogans! Always good to hear you bellowing from deep beneath your bunker.

Seriously, I'm the last guy who should be posting a tutorial. I'm figuring this out as I go along.

What I've learned so far: Plan ahead. Draw it first and think about how you want to paint each piece of the picture before you start it. Cut your picture up with a razor leaving only little bits between the pieces to keep it together. Spray glue on the back and stick it to the shirt. Peel off one piece, paint a color, stick it back on. Repeat until done. Switch to the next color. Start over again. (Mr. Allosaurous has three colors - green brown and black. So I painted each part of the dinosaur three times. My dragon had a buttload of colors - six, I think. Don't do that.)

Paint light colors first, dark colors last. Don't stop once you start. Eat a lot of pretzels while you paint. Drink a beer. Paint a faint outline of black around the whole exterior of the design when you have done everything else.

See, I told you I am the last guy who should post a tutorial.
