Hi guys, I was hoping you'd be able to help me. I am just wondering how images like these are created.

Is the face drawn, or copied from a site and the text added later?

I'm looking to do a shirt of a real popular person and can find the images online of him, unfortunately my drawing is real bad! So I'm just wondering how do I put a face on a shirt, like this design.

Should I copy/paste the image tp zazzle's T shirt creator, add my text and order? Then after that create the shirts in bulk from that original? My worry is that the images are not crisp.

I would find a high resolution image, convert to black and white to a line drawing (I use Corel photopaint).
Alternatively for a vector I would convert it in Corel Trace.
It takes a bit of playing around with the settings, but all depends on the photo you start with.....

you can also use photoshop, turn the image to black and white and adjust the levels until desired outcome

Live Trace function in Illustrator will do this as well

A photograph with good contrast works best
