I will start with shapes in fabric on the design wall, take a photo and bring it into PHotoshop, perhaps make it B&W. With the drawing tools in new layers I can add other shapes, perhaps continue the figures to the edge, try different backgrounds, or rotate, shift, or mirror the images. When I have something roughed out, I will print or put it on the IPad and go back in the studio to cut more fabric. It doesn't end up like the Photoshop piece, but it gets me further along in the design stage. (I also use Sketchbook Pro on the iPad in the same way.)Connie in Alabamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326006203761665176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-68906877604723319062015-01-27T08:51:07.628-05:002015-01-27T08:51:07.628-05:00I like the one with 3 tones of gray the best.
