Creating a Shirt in ProSketch

Add caption
First of all i used the line and curved line tool down the left hand tool bar to draw half a shirt. To use these tools i simply left clicked once where i wanted to start drawing my line and then double left clicked to finish and release my cursor. I dragged the ruler in to be used as my line of symmetry. 




I then altered the thickness of my lines by highlighting the whole shirt and clicking on the up arrow in the line/curve menu which can be found at the top of the program. 




I highlighted the whole shirt by clicking and dragging my cursor. I also added some finer details to my sketch by using the curve tool.




So that i had a complete shirt i held down control and then selected the mirror to right button at the top of the program.




I also created a new stitch so that some of the detail on my shirt looked more realistic. I achieved this by using the simple stitches tab located at the bottom right of the program. I adjusted the width, offset and variety of stitch to suit my sketch. I then named the stitch i had created and pressed save.




I was then able to use my stitch in the program by selecting the drop down button below the simple stitches tab, choosing my stitch and then pressing apply. This automatically changed the line and curve tool from a solid line, to the stitch that i had created.
