✧.* Hi! This time I want to explain about drawing frills and lace ✧.*

Difference

let's see the difference before and after I added frills and lace to my drawings

In this drawing, I added lace and frills manually and used the brush available in Clip Studio Paint. After I added frills and lace, the clothing design I made seemed more beautiful, and it also added aesthetic value to the drawing.

Frills

There are two ways that I will explain, the first is how to draw manually and the second is by using the brushes available in Clip Studio Paint assets

1. How to draw frills

You can start by making a wavy line or if you want the frills to look neat you can make a zigzag line

Add the top fold line

add the bottom fold line. Because this is part of the inside of the folded fabric

and put a wrinkle line on the top of the fabric and finish!

Try improving the way you draw frills by drawing them in a wave

red for the outside and blue for the inside

2. Using the frills brush in Clip Studio Paint

If you want to add frills to your images more quickly and easily, let's use the frill brush!

 

There are several brushes available in Clip Studio Paint and there are also some that you can download in Clip Studio Paint Asset

 

There are only three steps, add> adjust> convert brightness to transparency

here, I have given the frills

But the frills do not fit in place, and I don't want to repeat it many times until I get the right result so here we will use, Edit> Transform> mesh transformation

then adjust it

We can change the white background on the frills to be transparent by Edit> convert brightness to transparency

3. Easy way to color frills

I use this to make the process of adding base color easier

base color but not so bright

Add a dark gradient to the shadow part

give a dark color to the inside of the frills folds

then give it a bright color or base color that is brighter than before

4. Where to add frills?

There is no limit to where you can put frills! put them wherever you like as you wish.

 

Try experimenting with adding frills as you like

Lace

Just like the frills, we can draw the lace manually or use the brushes available in Clip Studio Paint. But, drawing lace one by one can take a lot of time. That's why we will create a custom brush

1. Make a custom lace brush

New canvas, size 1000px x 1000px 300dpi (or larger than this)

then place the symmetrical ruler in the center of the canvas

>make sure you use vector layers<

then draw the lace design you want

turn off the paper and the symmetrical ruler

Go to layer properties and change the expression color to gray

Go to Layer>Convert Layer, change the layer to an image material layer

in the materials section. right click on the mouse. select new folder

give the folder a name

then go to edit> register material> image

Select the folder where to save the material, don't forget to check the use of the brush tip shape. then click OK

Select one of the available default brushes, right click on the mouse. then duplicate it

 

change the brush name

Select Brush tip,click the sign next to the brush tip image

Look for the lace image that we registered earlier

And that's it, now you have your own custom lace brush

You can also add other designs to one brush. Go to brush settings

add other design you made

and this is the results

try experiment and adjust as you like!

2. how to add lace to a drawing

just like frills, added and adjusted using mesh transformations.

if the lace has a white background you can use >convert brightness to transparency

3. simple way to shading lace

Base color

Give gradation to the parts that are not exposed to light

Give light color gradations in the direction of the light

put a shadow under the lace

 

copy the lace layer, then move the layer below the original lace layer. change the layer to multipy layer. and done

Closed

I hope my information about frills and lace can be useful for all of you, keep experimenting in improving your drawing. Try to find a way that makes you enjoy your drawing process.

keep up the spirit and don't give up!

 

I apologize if I made a mistake, that's all from me and thank you for stopping by this page

 

have a nice day, goodbye~! 🌼
