And harking back to FD's post

FD- hun- meet me and we can talk AVPainter- try using different settings of Soft and hard for the brush and the eraser and smudge tools.. You were great to show me on my first attempts the ones I didn't catch my mistakes on- but i am growing in my work - I am finding ways to make things work like i want them to-
I will be back in world tomorrow- look for me FD- I will drop everything to go over these things with you and maybe we can finish the overalls ?

While on the subject of FD's stuff. I took a long planned, but never completed trip to his main store location earlier. I was really blown away by his "Doodle" items. When he said something about "Doodle", me not knowing what that was I thought it was like the permanent marker drawing houses/cars etc that were so popular a couple years ago.

FD's hand drawn work or "doodles" or whatever you call them are outstanding. You can really see he puts a ton of time and care into his products. Most everything is 100L or less there, which is really a bargain considering the detail.

Usually what happens is the fabric first for me.
Then after its like how do I get it to show up where I want.
I like what you made and often I see that technique but I like highly involved fabrics like real life type textures that would be on clothes.
Lot of clothing makers I see in world use the technique of solid colors and adding details.
My method though takes more patience and more work.
I will try a contrasting color next time.
I am perfectionist and often one item may take several up to 10 tries to perfect it but I do wish there was way to reduce the mistakes but I figure when get enough items the way I want I can always recycle with new textures and details.
Hardest problem I having is when you're working with like 8 pixels or smaller areas is how to get hand drawn or stamped details not get all distorted.
I want more details to be shown i.e, realistic seams, laces and fancy detailed buttons and more realistic hand drawn textures that I have produced that your eyes can feel the textures, etc but its not exactly yet the way I want yet.
Thanks for the advise Rha.
I like making my own fabrics too. Then make clothes using the fabric.

Thanks, hon.

Hmm anyone done some mathmatical number crunching to work out an ETA?

It's just too much effort to keep up with this thread - can't somebody push out an RSS feed? Then we could stick it in a google widget and it wouldn't look like you were on the SL forum when you are at work... *grins*

Thank you for stopping by Macphisto and buying a tree and my doodle room divider, your
kind words.
The room divider does have some "doodles" on it they are all doodled or mouse doodled:)
I hope to have more hand drawn texture 3 prim or less items for homes, gardens, Art, fashion for Men too, not just the one's that wear pink and are sissies like me:)

I designed fabrics and 2d textured spaces before I ever did clothes so it comes more naturally for me to do it first.
Amaranthim, Auroaskye helped me update the overalls in spite she has been sicker then a dog the last few days I was really shocked.
Yet I am still struggling with few things like how to get stamps to work.
It would be easier if I could do base texture and bring in hand doodled items if I could figure it out.
I am sorry I missed you I was having a male version of PMS I think tonight and bit cranky was being a hermit.
haha

Thank you. Good Morning.
I take request too if you want something special. I don't charge outrageous prices but if I can't do something specific I won't charge, it just make things less stressful for me.
I usually do request when I get them for the challenge and donations, because creating is about fun for me anything else is a bonus or makes me more cranky then my usually crankiness. hehe.
