Warning! This file is huge! You are better off downloading it so you can read it better.

Ok, so this is a tutorial on how I make fantasy clothes for my characters. But I'm not sure if I pulled it off. I have a very difficult time explaining my design process.

So in case it doesn't help here are so tips that might:
:bulletgreen: Before I even think about pixeling an outfit I sketch it out on paper first. It helps solidify the design and helps figure out problems before you get to the real piece.
:bulletgreen: Use references! For me I have a folder full of art from all kinds of places and styles that I draw inspiration from. Basically if you see something that you like you can use in your design.
:bulletgreen: When in doubt stick to what you know. If you are comfortable with a certain style then use it but never fear the need to innovate.
:bulletgreen: Try to keep in mind who will be wearing the outfit and try to suit it to their needs and personal taste.

Also, I hope to get a mini companion tuto just on clothing colors done tomorrow...anything in particular you want me to cover in that?

And if I missed anything that you really need to know about just note me and I'll try to explain it to you. I'm sorry if this tuto isn't helpful. ;A;

:huggle: Aww, you're welcome Karen! <33 I'm just happy you can understand all my babbling I ended up having a difficult time explaining my design process. I usually choose a culture because I'm so easily inspired by them but you don't have too sometimes it can constrict your design in the end. :blush: And thank you I'm just glad I could help designing clothes is one of my favorite things to do. My notebooks are filled with various outfit scraps. :giggle:

I'm really just glad you shared this with us because designing outfits is one of my weak points. :) You really are amazing at what you do! Hopefully one day I can at least come close to you in awesomeness. XD♥ :hug:

I'm glad I did it too because it was a bit of a challenge for me to explain but it made me realize my own process. And you are being ridiculous! I absolutely love your outfit designs! :D

Thanks for the tut :)
I seem to have a habit of picking light colors for my clothes :la: not idea why lol

I'd do a flaming color but can't never seem to shade it to where it looks more flame like o-o

Think I need a good flame pallete o-o if I can find one lol

Aww, you're welcome.
And lol, I tend to go for bright colors more than anything just because I like everything colorful. :D

Yeah, flames are a bit difficult sometimes. What exactly are you trying to shade that color maybe I can help. :D
