I'm speechless. This 48 minute video was more value for money than my £15k fashion degree!!! This video makes the education system with rising tuition fees seem like a disgrace! 😅 Thank you, thank you, thank you! Priceless!
Thank you! I'm glad it could be useful. Don't forget, we have fashion illustration template packs that save you hours of illustration work. You can find them here: designlab.london/digital-fashion-illustration-adobe-illustrator/
My jaw hit the floor watching this video - you've completely demystified technical line drawing for me. Thank you so very much for your clear & well explained tutorials!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and for the files! Your tutorials are very helpful and I have improved my illustrator so much with your tutorials. T💕
I just learnt something from another tutorial. Instead of reflecting and the moving the object manually, you can choose the reflect tool, hold down alt then click on the centerline of your template, choose vertical and copy.
Trustttt me, this guy has saved me. Iv had 9 hours of lessons but never went coz my teachers style of teaching is toooo slow and I have no patience with her. I literally learned to make my cad outfit in one day. You’ve saved my bacon great video. The above is 💯 percent correct thanks again
Thank you! Ive been jobless since the pandemic start. iwas a graphic artist before and took fashion deesign classes in the eveening. i studied your videos and now after 3 years i have a job at Line apparell LC as a fashion deesign assistant and illustrator.
Hi Markian, thank you for your great comment. We always love hearing success stories especially when they are so important to that person's life/ living situation. I'm so happy we could help and so glad you're in a better place because of them. It's one of the reasons why we create them. Good luck with all your work and let us know how you get on. x
OMG... I have to buy illustrator! Been spending weeks on simple 3D model clothing designs. Thank you for this tutorial! I love how you repeat the best practices so it gives me time to remember them. This video is going to save me months of time!!!
Is there any way you are able to do a video on technical drawing sewing instructions? Eg. Place zipper tape right side face down on top of the front main piece raw edge. Pin in place, Sew.
Thank you for some great videos. I would like to share a great shortcut with you - Instead of right click average and then join you can use PC Ctrl Alt Shift J and it does both in the one hit.
Thi video is so helpful! I have a question when I try to apply the average setting it doesn't work =( and when I try to move it to make different length the hem goes all weird, what am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance
Ooof.. This could be because of a whole bunch of different things. The best thing to do is email us at info@patternlab.london or message us directly. Possibly I can guide you through the issue.
Thank you for yet another super brilliant video/tutorial!!! It's such wonderful and important work you're doing. I hope it is not out of tone for me to suggest an additional way of enhancing the gathers by using the Profile option under the Stroke panel; perhaps if one wishes to create a more feathered out line they could use one of the options in there to change the profile of the lines. I am super excited about this series. Shout out from Sunny South Africa.
Hi Tanaka, Thanks for your comment, that's a great suggestion! I'm always really excited to hear feedback as it helps our community learn and grow. Plus I do tend to use these tips in my own work also ;) Thanks again and glad you're enjoying the series.
A plugin? What plugin do you want to add to Adobe illustrator? I'm not sure if you can, since i've never needed to. If there are plugins and you manage to add one, will you lets us know?
where we can apply for fashion digital illustrators jobs from home? if u know any companies plz let us knw...... and your tutorials are so helpfull tysm
I'm not sure if there is a specific role for this or if it's possible to do solely from home, however, fashion illustration and especially tech drawing is a key skill to have if you want to become a fashion designer working in the commercial retail sector. It's a tool to have rather than a sole occupation, however, I could be wrong. Can anyone else answer this question?
I believe this is “snap to”. Go to View in the file menu and search near the bottom of the list for “snap to” there are a few options to choose from. I usually use “snap to point” but not “snap to grid” Hope that helps.
We can, however, I believe using the iPad would complicate the process of designing flats in Adobe Illustrator. I believe the Adobe App is also limited on that platform.
How do you give the manufacturer the sizes? Do you send for every size (S,M,L,XL,XXL) the exact lengths and widths? Or are there any basic sizes the manufacturer can use first and later can make small adaptions? How is this process of finding the perfect sizes?
hello thank you for your tutorials , although I know how to design adobe illustrator as a graphic designer but I always can't adjust the legthns . to create different copies styles I redesign it or simply make one style .. can you help I tried many times .. will appreciate that
You can lengthen your design by selecting key points and moving them downwards. For example, if you wish to keep your style the same but simply lengthen the hem, select all the hem points with the small selection tool (white arrow) and shift them downwards using the down arrow key on your keyboard. Holding down shift whilst hitting the down key on your keyboard will move the points more quickly. Hopefully this helps answer your questions.
This is exactly the same process for menswear. Simply find a menswear model template and get drawing. You can find a pretty decent men's wear model template here: pretatemplate.com/download-fashion-figure-templates/
You can visit the Pret-a-template website or download our Fashion illustration technical drawing pack: designlab.london/digital-fashion-illustration-adobe-illustrator/
I'm not sure if Adobe illustrator works on an iPad or if they have an app, but you could certainly try it. Theoretically the technique would be the same the only difference would be your ability to use a pencil rather than a mouse. We'd love to know if you manage to do it.
We don't currently have any flat drawing packs for menswear but we do have a flat drawing course which is currently free. You could use it to create your own flat drawings for men, since the process is the same for men and women, it simply depends on the fashion template that you use, men, women or children. Here's a link to the course: patternlab.london/home/courses/master-flat-drawing-for-fashion-design-adobe-illustrator/ Hopefully this helps?!
Ooooh! This is something that would really help! I'll do some research into it. This is something that takes up quite a bit of time so yes it would help dramatically. Thank you for the tip!
Hey your tutorials are awesome no doubt ❣️😍😍😍😍😍 but i wanna ask something when i have been practising this is AI.. i faced a problem with stroke panel when i had worked with zoomed artboard strokes are so thin but i have seted them on 1 pt why this makes something so frustrated plz answer it
I have the opposite of your problem, my lines are too thick, i think the solution to that is to decrease the size of your model or flat drawing until the lines appear satisfactory. I enlarged my model until i was satisfied with the line thickness. Make sure you hold SHIFT down so you don't change proportions of your illustrations.
It all depends on how big your flat drawings are. But it’s simply a case of increasing or decreasing the Pt of the line. Larger illustrations will need a higher Pt value. Smaller illustrations will need a lower Pt value.
Hey..thanks for the amazing videos.I am having a problem in pentool.While making a slanted line it becomes uneven (raw edges of the pixel) not clear as the perpendicular line. So when i am exporting it ,i am getting uneven lines which looks weird.Why this is happening..
It sounds like you have assigned a "brush style" to your line. Click "Window" in the menu, then click "Brushes" in the drop down. On the right of your Ai document you will see the brushes palette appear. Select the top most brush called "Basic". It should be a clean straight line. This will then apply that brush to your line giving you a clean straight edge at all times. I hope this helps resolve your issue. Good luck!
@@PatternLabLondon Hey thank you for answering.I did the way you asked me to.I am not getting a smooth line like in perpendicular. While in slanted lines. It has a zigzag break. Is there any key to hold for making it smoother?
Hi! I am currently at the section where you join the little details together and the layers dissappear. I selected the object and tried to send to back but the little details on one side will not come forward, they are hiding no matter what I do . What can I do? Thank you!
It sounds like you have some objects grouped in an odd manner. I would remove the details from the silhouette and, select the details and un group all. Then regroup them. Do the same for the silhouette. Then bring the details to the front and re-place them on the silhouette. Unfortunately, without seeing what you are working on it can be hard to help. Another possibility is that one side of the silhouette has a white fill?
@@PatternLabLondon Thank you for responding, I appreciate your suggestions! When I try to group the details, most of the time i get a message saying i cannot make a group objects that are within a different group. (There is also no fill). However, i was able to re-do it again and this time the layers did come back, but I am unable to average and join the details due to the shirt itself moving when I click and drag to select. When i individually select both sides of the neck detail for example, it wont let me average join , rather says to select 2 spots at least (which are selected) .

how do you select the lines in the selection tool so that not all the lines are selected? 🙏🏻 thankyouuu
Use the direct selection tool (white arrow). Experiment with holding down the shift and option key on your keyboard while making your selection.
Can you do a tutorial with iPad Pro?
We can, however, I believe using the iPad would complicate the process of designing flats in Adobe Illustrator. I believe the Adobe App is also limited on that platform.
like u read my mind
How do you give the manufacturer the sizes?
Do you send for every size (S,M,L,XL,XXL) the exact lengths and widths?
Or are there any basic sizes the manufacturer can use first and later can make small adaptions?
How is this process of finding the perfect sizes?
I think I've already answered this question. Please see my other comment.
