The evolution of ruffles and lace

▲Ruffles

"Ruffle" first appeared in the 16th century.

It is an indispensable decoration on men's clothing!

After all, women’s clothing is mostly half-style,

They all evolved from men’s clothing,

High heels are one example.

 

By the 18th century,

The ruffle decoration that doubled the complexity appeared.

In the famous Western paintings of the Rococo period,

Get a glimpse.

 

After the 19th century,

With the popularity of simplicity,

Ruffles have really disappeared from men’s clothing.

Let it completely become the category of women's clothing,

essential element.

▲Lace

"Lace" was first developed in monasteries.

Because of the handmade decorative fabrics,

The manufacturing process is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Also because of the manufacturing process, it has a transparent texture.

Gradually the users spread from the clergy to the aristocracy.

Later, due to the industrial revolution,

Enables mass production of lace,

And its unique exquisite texture and applicable range,

Let the scope of use gradually spread across various aspects of life.

Draw analysis

▲Observation and Analysis

Description of the above picture:

The ruffles will be affected by pattern design or cutting processing.

Clothes that naturally spread out hem curve,

It is a wave-like undulating feeling,

If wrinkles are added,

The final shape of the ruffle will be richer.

▲Line expression and application

The line unit shape is very similar to the symbol "Ω",

I prefer to use the English words "Z" or "S" to look at the ruffled unit shape.

More intuitive feeling of extensibility of lines.

Preparatory work and material library

Therefore, the focus of this teaching content is

Will focus on the performance of women's clothing.

==== Created by users in the environment of Version 2.3.4 (PRO) ===

Description of the above picture:

Please prepare the basic prototype of the costume first.

Then go to the system's Material Library to find your favorite decorative brushes.

Please copy a line draft first and then enter

"Edit-->Change brightness to transparency",

Can copy clean line drawings (prototypes of clothing)

to open a new layer,

Apply ruffles and lace brushes in layers one by one.

Description of the above picture:

Note!!!▲The brush is also subdivided into two attributes,

Background brush - a decorative brush with edge color filling.

No background brush--a decorative brush with only edges.

Please handle it appropriately according to the characteristics.

For example: changing the drawing color or erasing part of the brush color block.

Notice!

Depicting Color and Background Color

(primary color and auxiliary color) configuration,

Will affect the rendering effect of the final brush.

Open another check color layer under the line drawing layer.

to check the status of the decoration brush.

Description of the above picture:

Using the lace brush method,

The brush painting range is from large to small,

From outside to inside or from inside to outside,

The entire lace area is trimmed and then the pen is added.

 

Again "Edit-->Change brightness to transparency",

Clear out another stage of line drawing,

In order to further flat coat and paste the dots.

This tutorial only introduces basic types of ruffles.

If you are interested in the variability of clothing design,

You can look for information on making clothing patterns to research.

The deformation production principles and application range of various ruffles,

You will understand the secrets better.

Fine-tuning method sharing

The following content is an attempt to complete the work using brushes this time.

Share fine-tuning practices in the process.

▲Application of corrected line width

Notice!!!

Filter effects that can only be used in "lattice layer",

After painting a ruffle or lace brush on a separate layer,

Discover brush pattern lines and line drawings of your own drawings,

When there is a difference in line thickness between each other,

Available Filter-->Correct line width-->Thicken or thin.

After handling the coordination with the overall line thickness,

Add a few more strokes to complete the final touches.

The color of the edge lines displayed by the brush,

No matter what color it is, it will become thinner or thicker! (Relativity)

Apply the decorative brush (ruffle) on a separate layer.

Then deal with the thickness status of the lines one by one.

▲Using the tilt tool and decorative brushes

Decorative brushes with a base color (ruffles or lace),

You can also use the "skew tool" for local deformation correction.

But please first make sure the pressure-sensitive parameters of the drawing pen are set!

(You can refer to the previously listed TILPS articles,

The content parameter value of TILPS for line art. )

▲Application of border effects

Use **"Border Effect"** to increase the sense of lines.

(Layer Properties-->Effect-->Border Effect)

Can be used in the outline lines of decorative brushes.

Instead of pursuing the detailed display of jewelry.

You can also correct the decorative brushes with black background and white lines.

The white thin line state caused by

Increase the line width of the outer edges.

▲Additional operation

▲Add pen to the edge of the outer layer (mesh) veil

Use the Double Color Pen brush to add pen,

The effect can be achieved easily.

▲Add the edge brush

The built-in decorative brushes in the software (edge brush),

You can also increase the variability of the ruffles,

Add pen to the ruffle brush pattern,

Create pattern effect.
