To make acrylic paint permanent on fabric, you need to heat-set it. After the paint has dried, place a cloth over the painted area and iron it for 5-10 minutes on a high heat setting. This will help to set the paint and make it more resistant to washing and fading.

Artist ( fresher) , i can draw anything

Just don't try to wash it before it's thoroughly dry. Acrylic paint will stay on your clothes forever. As an art teacher I learned that the only way to get it out was with Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, as high a percentage as you can find.

Acrylic paint can be permanent on clothing. You can do so by ironing the painted area by covering it. Direct heat may damage it. Although it will last long but might fade away over a period of time.
