I have really got to click a link to see it?

Maybe someone can answer the interesting question is vector necessary for t shirt design?

I don't know, I'd rather use dedicated art programs like Clip Studio Paint. The new Krita 4.1 and MediBang Paint Pro, both free - donation if you wish -are nice too if you are looking for a change.

That Facebook thread is an art not graphic design competition; it being such a loose theme. Even then all the entries are on 'black' Africans, none on Boer, Afrikaner, or Islamic tribes etc. And pretty unimaginative, homogeneous looking submissions too, unless some snowflake moderator is at...
