Lynda – Photoshop for Fashion Design: Rendering Techniques with Robin Schneider

Harness the power of Adobe Photoshop for rendering your fashion croquis and costume designs, taking your sketches from concept to completion. These techniques are not limited to fashion use; they’re perfect for all designers and illustrators. Join Robin Schneider as she shows you how to scan, clean, color, and render your hand-drawn illustrations with tricks for adding faces and hair.

Robin will also show how to lay out your ideas on presentation boards in a way that will make clients and buyers take notice.
