Major Project Digital Development

After the photo edition i chose Krita as my main software. 

It was my first time using a X-Pen table drawing so i had to train first how to draw in digital and then start paint my drawings.

I started by experiment paint over my drawing, always using another layer instead painting in the original image.

The main tools i used on Krita were the paint and drawing tools that i can find above in the software and chose the thickness, color and texture, the move tool and the eraser.

This programe have many options about colors and drawing tools.

As is possible to see above, i wrote the colors code because i already had chose my color palette.

The pencil marks were to visible so i had to put some white with transparency to create a soft effect

After experiment many times how to work with the transparency, i start painting this piece where the top is translucent.

My designs are with rope, but i didn't get it how to do with more detail and use real rope texture, so i had to represent my design in a minimalistic way.

As My Collection is for summer, i searched about fabrics i can use on the making of my fashion collection because is a season of the year very hot and make us sweat and if the fabric if is not suitable can provoke discomfort.

Cotton: "Is one of the best fabrics for hot weather, it is soft, lightweight, breathable, and soaks up sweat, allowing heat to escape the body and for the people to stay cool"

Linen: "Is another top choice for a breathable fabric to wear in hot weather conditions. It is also very light and is loosely woven which allows heat to escape from the body. It absorbs a lot of moisture and dries quickly."

Rayon: "Is a man-made fabric blended from cotton, wood pulp, and other natural or synthetic fibers. It was invented as a cheaper alternative to silk. Rayon has very thin fibers, which allows it to breathe more than other fabrics and gives it a lightness that prevents it from sticking to a body in hot weather. Since it is so comfortable and cooling to wear, rayon is an especially good fabric for sportswear and summer dresses."

Chiffon: It can be used in so many different ways to offer a splash of elegance while ensuring the heat doesn’t overwhelm the wearer. Ideal for dresses.

Jersey: Often blended with cotton to make a rugged yet lightweight material, jersey is an excellent choice for summer clothing as it won’t weigh the wearer down and is also extremely flexible.

I Searched about polyester fishing ropes to have as a visual reference and because my collection have ropes all over the pieces.
