Easter 1: Let's make a range plan!



I love computer works. I studied how to use Photoshop and Illustrator just last year, by myself.
It was very difficult when I was using Illustrator, but I realized that we just need to be used to.
I drew an very easy shape (Like a pencil skirt) everyday, before go to bed, it had been done for a month, then, I became to draw anything I want.

So this time is a kind of Easter special! (you don't have to count this post as a submission, if you think it doesn't suit)
I am going to show how I am making flats.



 First, I need to draw a flat by hand. 


Szkutnicka, B (2010) Technical Drawing For Fashion. London. Laurence King


This book is what I studied drawing flat from super beginner. I'm always recommending to everybody.
It tells how to drawing flat very precise and easy way.


Anyway, I just draw a half if it is a symmetry silhouette. I also need a back as well.






Then scan the hand drawing ones into a computer, open with Photoshop first, to make sure it is right angle. If not, rotate it slightly and match to the blue guide lines.


Then bring them to Illustrator and open as one work.


Then open 'beneric-template' which was attached in the book as CD-ROM, in a same work place but as a different layer. Move the original drawing to fit to the template then Lock both layers.


Then Just draw lines onto the original hand drawing (a half), then mirror to the other half.
I'm not going to tell how to draw lines now because it will take a huge amount of writing. But I am happy to tell to anybody who wants to know. 




After that, bring the work back to Photoshop to make the white background. And now we can play with this work change sizes, put colour in, or making a nice range plan as I did.
