14. To set this up for a black T-shirt, create a new layer behind all the other layers and draw in a black rectangle to fill the artboard. Then use the Selection tool to select the snake’s outline, then go Edit > Copy and Edit > Paste in Back, fill it with white, give it a 12-point outline and hit the Align Stroke to Outside icon.
