I just tried exporting it as a PNG and no line comes up, even after playing with DPI settings, type/art optimisation and whatnot.

I found that hitting flatten transparency on the image seems to fix it (for now). Thanks for the effort though!

I've been inspired by ScottFreo's template in the Can-Am and have started giving it another go myself.\

This is pretty early days, but looking for feedback on shape, proportionality and whatnot. Be brutal.

I already think I'm going to make the cuffs a little longer.

Design is a quick mock-up of my predicted 2017 clash jumper.

 

[Dylan8]

Nice. The way the cuffs jut inwards at the bottom looks weird. Here's what I did with mine -


Because when you lay it out as if it's being worn (rather than flattened out) the cuff should sort of get thinner as it goes under the armpit/out of view. Does that make sense? I'm talking about armpit template dynamics.

 

[Jack Stevens]

Yeah cuffs are definitely my main issue with it. I think even if I added a tail to the current ones to taper them off it might work though..

Anyone know of a way to create a dashed stroke in Photoshop that doesn't look like shit?

Is it for stitching? Have a look at page 8 or 9 of the Photoshop Tutorial Thread. Stormy wrote a tutorial on it

Recently I've been trying to make a soccer kit template but I am a bit stuck as to which way to go with the shading. On the left I have gone with more shading on the torso whereas on the right I kept it mostly to the inside of the sleeve. Which way should I be going? How else can I improve it? Has anyone else on here done a soccer template in this style that I should be looking at (couldn't find any)?

This guys shadows are pretty intense but I used them as a guide for my footy template

I'd go with the left-hand side shading, but darken it just a bit. It needs to be a little more visible (perhaps 5-10% more in the opacity?)

Yes it is. Do the shoulders look right?

Looks fine

If you think you can persist with always having to manually adjust each line you draw to fit the template, go ahead.

It's a very nice looking template, but jeez.. So much creasing in the kit to work with.

I tried and failed to make my template look semi like that. Nice work.

Finally I've got some time on my hands this weekend to update my template so I might be posting here a bit. First thing that I want to change is the shape as the dramatic curves on it atm make some designs unnecessarily difficult. Does something like this look right?

I'm also re-doing the stitching (I had it set up all wrong beforehand) and decided to play around with the way that is done on the cuffs. I've never wanted to have the stitching be too intrusive. So is the one on the left alright better in terms of that?

One thing that I'd like to try that is perhaps a little out of my comfort zone is a subtle fabric texture, I have a plan as to how to it, but if anyone knows an easy way to do it in illustrator then I'm all ears, (or eyes more accurately seeing as though I'd be reading it)

1 maybe a touch shorter in length
2 left and right together

I'm just testing the changed height of my template now.

 

[NM_Mitchell]

How's that for the size of it?
