Some of my customers have asked me how I create my cliparts. Well, let me tell you a little bit about it.
I use several programs: Adobe Photoshop, Corel Painter, SAI, and sometimes Adobe Illustrator.
First, I select a few references to understand exactly what it looks like that I want to draw.
Then I make a very rough sketch. Just a silhouette of the future clothing in the right colors.

After that, I start working out the outline and slightly Refine the details.

The next step is clipping elements with a pen in Adobe Photoshop.

I usually fill the background with gray to better see the outline.

Then I continue to Refine the details, adding more light and shadows, as well as some elements.

The final touches are highlights and smoothing out rough color transitions. Then I adjust the brightness/contrast and also adjust the colors.

This is the end of creating an illustration and the long process of preparing files for the shop begins. I will not tell you about this because it is unlikely that anyone is interested in it.
