Step 1: Creating the Outfit

Welcome back to my tutorial on how to digitize your HAND-drawn fashion sketch. In this episode, we'll be focusing on creating the outfit for our fashion figure. This is an exciting stage where we get to bring our design to life digitally. Let's dive in!

First, we'll start by applying the image of the chosen fabric to the path fill of the dress. Create a new layer and name it "FAB" for fabric. Move this layer beneath the dress layer in the Layers panel. Now, add the fabric image to this layer either by dragging and dropping it from its folder or by using the "Place" option in the FILE menu. Scale the fabric image proportionally to roughly 1/5 of the area to be filled.

Step 2: Preparing the Image

In order to create the fabric area, we'll be using the Reflect tool. This tool can be found in the vertical toolbar or in the Object tab of the main menu bar under TRANSFORM - Reflect. Set the rotation point and the reflection parameters for the copy of the fabric object. Use the SHIFT key and ALT key combination to view the guide of the rotating axes and perform the reflection.

Step 3: Rasterization of the Image

To simplify the graph and prepare it for editing, we'll use the Rasterize tool. This tool can be found in the Object menu of the main menu bar. Choose the necessary options in the RASTERIZE submenu, including the color model, resolution, background, anti-aliasing, and more. Make sure to set a white background and deselect the "Create Clipping Mask" option.

Step 4: Editing with Clipping Masks

Now, it's time to Apply the fabric image as a fill attribute for the dress Outline. Drop the fabric image on the dress path and select both layers in the Layers panel. Activate the Create Clipping Mask option to obtain the trimmed fabric object with the dress path outline. Adjust the line parameters and details of the dress if necessary, such as the width and color.

After completing these steps, You have successfully created the outfit for your fashion sketch digitally. Now let's move on to the final touches and conclusion.
