Ive been designing for over 15 years and was today year's old when I found out that you can change the stroke ends with the uniform setting! Thanks!

Very helpful even for an old fashion head. Thank you

Thank you, that is exactly what I wanted to know, re width tool and line profile. If you don't know what little button to click on, you can spend hours in frustration. Not sure I know how to allow for color changes in the pattern brushes. This I will have to check.

Your videos are so helpful and their is always so much to learn! I was wondering if you could maybe do a video on what to include in your fashion portfolio after you have a job or two in the industry (percentage of school vs industry work), some ideas on formats (online vs hard copy) and how much work to include?

This tutorial is very helpful, thank you! I have one question, how do you create the straps? By that I mean how have you managed to bend the straps to fold back on themselves, and remain a uniformed width throughout?

[@mavho139]

Hi, thanks for the tutorial. Question. when I change stroke color, it just changes line color. The brush color doesn’t change as you show. I guess it’s because I’m not doing right on brush setting. Can you please shed light on this? Thanks.
