Skirt Technical Sketch

I enjoyed doing this gored skirt, mainly because my stitching lines are beginning t improve in my opinion. I usually have crooked stitch lines that don't exactly follow the edge of the skirt. However this time I managed to control the shape of my stitch line in a much more consistent way. 

Dress Technical Sketch

This dress wasn't to difficult to do as I have become fluent using the reflect tool. It makes the garment look more accurate then trying to copy a side freehand using the pen tool.  Although I found the side slightly difficult as I couldn't really figure out what it would look like on the side with the different lengths of the skirt.

Technical sketch - Shorts

I was having a nervous breakdown doing these shorts because after I had finished and saved I tried opening them up again and it wouldnt allow me so i had to start all over again. Glad it's over!

PANTS TECHNICAL SKETCH

Finally!!!! Got the hang of the pen tool.
My work still isn't perfect of course but I finally know how to manoeuvre the pen tool to create the shapes I want. Practise makes perfect!

Pen Tool

 When I was tracing this figure I could not figure out how to remove the tool from colouring what I was tracing. Once that was sorted out, tracing was much easier.
I am really pleased with how this one turned out. For the first time I was able to manage the curves without sharper points so I feel I have improved in using the pen tool.

Tracing Using the Pen Tool

Tracing these figures wasn't too difficult. It took me a while at the beginning to figure out how to make the pen tool work because for some reason it wouldn't. However once that worked the rest was quite simple.
