Workshop Template Feedback Thread

This iteration is entirely fine cuffs wise.

They aren't too thick on today's guernseys anyway.

Yeah, the only reason I changed it was because they looked funny when I filled them with the bucket tool.

Spanna65 you've come so far mate. I remember when you were saying you couldn't design on a computer and now you're making templates and everything. Great work mate.

Cheers mate! Hopefully I can become a bit more competitive in competitions now with this.

 

Thanks for the feedback on this guys! It has helped me a heap on making the template, which, I will add is a real winner. Have done a few jumper designs on it and I've got to say, I'm real proud of it.

 

how's this?

 

Too wide at the back on the front jumper - try it so the inside back cuffs barely curve outward

 

better 8man?

 

Dunno

Having a back on the cuffs is weird

Keep tinkering

Look at how far down the cuffs on the back are compared to the ones one the front. You have the back correct, now you need to try and match it

Following on from this, i'd be copy/pasting your back cuffs as back part of your front cuffs, they are the same piece of material after all. If they are the same it will look more correct.

 

oh, i'd just changed the back cuffs to be smaller, i'll change back and make the front longer and play around with it again

 

My template is done!

Yeah I know that the shorts are too small/jumper is too big.

 

Shorts are fine-ish. The jumper is wayyyyy to long. Try starting the jumper from the outside of the bottom part of the cuffs for both front and back, and the collar needs to join up to the base

All the updates have been done except the shortening of the jumper. That's proven a bit difficult. Might add stitching and shadowing later.

 

?

 

i've wasted so much time on this shit, no one has arms big enough to fill this out, i might just go back to how it was originally and work on the collar.

I reckon this looks much better. However, there's a lesson in this. Always complete the back jumper first, before starting the front jumper. It makes the process a lot quicker, because you can then paste the back jumper and then add front cuffs and the front collar, and draw a new outline without having to second guess anything.

 

how would one go about creating stitching?

Photoshop or illustrator?

 

Illustartor.

 

I just made a couple of paths with dotted stroke for stitching

 

 

Nice. And now if you wanted to go stitching crazy. Add some at the hem, cuffs, collar and GPS.

 

yeah, i might do a little more to add some detail.
i'm going to start making some basic designs such as a V, sash, hoops etc

 

this'll probs be it in changing anything like collars, cuffs, stitching.
i've made Norths clash, not used my canterbury collar on it though

i'll make some hoops and a tri-panel on my socks later and update this to have Norths perfect hooped socks.

 

Maybe make the top of the shorts a bit wider, so they don't come in on an angle so much? I would say the width of the guernsey without side panels

 

Spanna65 I noticed on your WCE GGG entry that your stitching is grey. I'd advise making it black and turning the opacity down.

I think mine is at 30% for stitching.
