4 minutes in and you explained the Pen Tool FLAWLESSLY! I've seen A LOT of videos and this is the OSCAR of Illusrator tutorial on the Pen's function. You demonstrate the point about "not inherenting" the curve line 3 times w/ variety on that issue which is how "real teaching lessons" are presented. Thanks for EXCELLENCE!!!!!! - (Former teacher and award-winning broadcast producer.)
Cool. I watched many Illustrator tutorials but this one is special. Its interesting to see how people from different industries utilise Illustrator according to their needs. A simple T-shirt one may say but I learnt a lot. Thanks.
I'm trying to submit a final project for a product development class and I want my hand sketched flats to look great, but I've never used Illustrator for this. You quick explanations are so helpful! TY for this tutorial!! So glad I found this and I'm subscribing.
thanks for sharing awesome tutorial. i dont even have an idea how to start using AI. Have the passion of doing fashion but dont know where to start. Now i have the confidents to follow my dream!
Offset path works great and I have some tutorials on that, but unless it’s a closed path I find it easier to do this method than create the offset around the entire path and have to delete half of it. Personal preference :)
This video was a great help and it got me started. I have traced a denim shirt, but I'd really like to know how I can create the back side of the garment without having a picture of the back to trace.Any advice?
yes , before you add stitch lines or the lines creating movement make the shirt a live paint shape. click on the shirt , in the window panel select object, scroll down to live paint and make
Hi Heidi. Have struggled to find an answer for this question on your website or tutorials so hope you can help. Are fashion templates/traced images required to draw different neck line styles? I.e spaghetti straps, off-shoulder and bra-let/strapless, sleeveless type garments? I can't draw free hand so wondered how I go about drawing these types of styles on illustrator. Thank you so much!
Find a photo as reference and go from there :) You can check out my free guide to AI for Fashion + tons of other resources here: successfulfashiondesigner.com/free/
theres new thing instead of doing a hand fashion illustration of the garment you can do digitalcollage of the garment on a model from a magazine can u do a tutorial on that and i love your videos helps me so much in fashion school right now
I've been doing this for draped clothes becuz they're hard to by eye. I thought I was cheating and just sucked at flat making. Im glad to know its ok to do Lol.
Hi Heidi, thanks for replying. Most youtubers have some general information in their description box and it normally appears below information about the video. The information is normally website, social media, merchandise links etc and many youtubers have a template they copy and paste in. It makes it so much easier for anyone watching your videos to click the link (especially on mobile devices) and be taken directly to whatever they want to visit, instead of pausing or rewatching the video to get the info, then opening up chrome and the typing it in. I know it sounds lazy but it ensures your viewers can find you instantly and hassle free. It just something to consider.
i cannot select multiple strokes when i click on them.How are you doing that while starting with the dashed line. Like when i click one it gets selected but then i click on the second one,the first one gets deselected and thus i cannot edit all of them together,pls help!!

You might want to try Offset Path to create a perfectly adjusted and placed stitch line reflecting hem or neck lines
Offset path works great and I have some tutorials on that, but unless it’s a closed path I find it easier to do this method than create the offset around the entire path and have to delete half of it. Personal preference :)

Welcome!
Hello! This is so helpful, but is there any way you can colour in the sketch after this point?
yes , before you add stitch lines or the lines creating movement make the shirt a live paint shape. click on the shirt , in the window panel select object, scroll down to live paint and make
thank you !

What kind of computer should I get
Can u trace more than one garment on the same page without the previous trace disappearing?
thank you so much, very useful......... when you have a chance could you please make a video how to draw a mesh detail on a legging or T shirt???
Great tutorial!
Would be good is you could link you details in the description, even if you make up a template that you can paste.
