Tutoriais: Adobe Video Workshop

I was looking through the Adobe Design Center recently and noticed they had some really great free resources there! The one that caught my eye the most was the Adobe Video Workshop. The Adobe Video Workshop has dozens and dozens of free video tutorials for 20 different Adobe products. You can find tutorials by selecting one of the 20 products such as Photoshop CS3 or you can find videos by topic such as page layout and design.

Once you have selected a video you can then watch it, or view an html version of the video. Source files are also available for many of the tutorials so you can follow along and actually practice the tutorial as you watch. I highly recommend taking advantage of these free video tutorials. I think video tutorials are one of the best way to learn online and the fact that these videos are all free is just great!

Tutorial: Computer Arts - Illustrating fashion

Follow Cybèle as she develops a sketch for a spring 2008 accessories collection into a completed fashion illustration.

When working on a fashion assignment, it’s important to dress the characters not in what is being worn at the time you create it, but what will be worn when the illustration is published and afterwards. So it’s essential for fashion illustrators to keep up to date with the current and upcoming fashion collections and street trends.

For this tutorial, New York based illustrator Cybèle scoured the spring 2008 collections online. Her interpretation of the upcoming spring fashions is that they are heavily influenced by surrealism and the lines of the 1930s – especially the shoes, which were made to resemble a range of objects from wings to teacups to fish. Taking particular inspiration from one pair of shoes from Balenciaga with heels like a birdcage, Cybèle did some additional research into surrealist art and photography to get a further sense of the time period. Once you’ve done your own particular research, keep a folder of files to look at while working on the drawing. Then create some very rough scribbles of your composition, and begin your sketch, either on paper or directly in Illustrator using a Wacom tablet.
