if i draw a dragon and i want to get it printed on a shirt do i just draw it in regular paper or is there a certain way your supposed to do it?? i want it to look something like this
If you are talking the large size of the print You could do it with a large screen if you did not print over the seams (so, a smaller image then you showed). You would also want the shirt was streched tight on a matching size platon (or shirt board). The size you showed would need a belt printer like pwapparel said.
If you are talking about getting a drawing on to a screen, you will need to burn it on a screen coated with photo emulsion.
Either way I would only use one screen and one color if you are new to screening. Build your confidence with baby-step experience rather then get discouraged by a tougher project.
Good luck. You have a toughy there if this is your first.

You can draw the image, scan it into your computer and then vectorize it. You can draw the image within an art program as a vector. You can draw the image in the size you want printed and scan it into the computer as a high resolution raster file.
You can shop for dragon vector art or look for free dragon vectors on the internet.
In the end it would pay to have some sort of drawing program like AI or Corel or the free Inkscape.
well im not a printer, i dont own one and i have no idea how one works.. what i meant was, im trying to start a clothing line but i want to put designs that i drew myself such as a skull or a dragon on it so it can look something like the shirt on the picture, is there a certain way to do this or could i just take the picture to the printer on regular paper??
You could take the picture but they would then have to adjust/redraw/separate colours etc onto a computer in order to make the screens, they would charge for this.
The best thing for you to do is, as stated in the post above, draw it yourself using a vector drawing program and then take it to the printer.
