So the end result is still a mystery for me. This palette will be growing as I proceed with the image, as at the moment I'm still not sure as for what colors I will be using. Various skin tone shades from light to dark, gradients with transparent edges and in solid color, some basic pink shades and few other that I decided to add at once.

I always add a white transparent radial gradient to my Swatches panel. Now I will be creating base color palette. JPG file to the layer "White" (the third layer will be named "Girl" for the main drawing), set it's Blending Mode to Multiply and Lock the layer. Place a sketch into a New document, setting it's Blending Mode to Multiply with Opacity 50%, and naming the layer "Sketch" accordingly. In this first part I'll be using a gradient mesh for hair and I will also show you my usual routine of drawing hair, using custom made brushes. The book covers both Mac and PC platforms, and the version of Illustrator used - version 10 - is the most established and latest major upgrade.In this tutorial I'd like to show you the possibilities of using the Mesh Tool in creating a stylish fashion illustration of a young woman in Adobe Illustrator. Adobe Illustrator is the most established and commonly used application in the fashion industry. Once the reader has learned all the techniques in the book, they will be able to produce in printed and digital format all the common items used by design studios to communicate ideas such as mood boards, illustrations, garment range, sketches, design details and technical design sheets. The book's structure is to start at the basics, with clear step-by-step instructions on creating flat drawings of simple items such as vests, skirts and shirts, and gradually move on to more difficult tasks once the basics have been mastered. This book is one of the first to show both students and professionals in the fashion industry how to use the Adobe Illustrator vector-based design package to make technical drawings of garments in a fast and precise way, building a library of trims and design details and how to visualize and render their design ideas.

The challenge faced by designers using computers is to create, produce and deliver ideas on a tight schedule while retaining their creativity.

In today's world of fashion, companies are looking for creative people who can communicate their designs quickly and neatly.
