Question

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, I was unsure of where to post it.

Anyways I have a question about desinging.

You see the dark blue lines on these Indians jerseys? How do you do that?

I mean they are prefectly placed over the skinner black lines, im just wondering how you do that. I mean ive tried going over it for the striaght lines but the curved lines are hard.

If working in illustrator you use the trace tool with just the outline color selected and no color for fill selected. You can trace along the original thinner line pretty easily with this tool.

To my knowledge, such is called piping. I don't have illustrator, so usually what I do with photoshop is kick up the tolerance on the paint bucket a few, make a couple strategic erases so that my chosen piping color doesn't become the outline of the entire jersey, and fill in the desired area. To note, that pretty much has to be done before resizing the thing to make it smaller, or else it requires far too much clicking. I keep filling until they're close to the width I want.

Then again, that may be why some of my piping looks a little choppy.

In Corel I just trace over it with the bezier tool. The straight part is simple and for the curvy parts I just approximate it and then drag the handles around a bit until it matches. Once you get the feel for it it is easy.

With the right template in paint--the paint bucket works just fine...
