Need help with detail work

[Snubs]

This is somthing im making for the site I go on . I need help with the out line of the pockets and the zipper area. I do this stuff to better learn PS but I still have yet to learn how to do detail like shading and making things stand out and still blend togeather at the same time. Any help would be great.

hi Snubs..
dont worry about speling, lol, this is a chat board, speling mistakes and typos are just like different sounds and accents in text.

.. if its the stitching you are thinking you need you could try searching the resources for some brushes to achieve his effect .. just a thought

just scanning the available brushes I think you might be able to improvise with the "meshlikewireframe" or maybe the "scratch n spike"

if you have a scanner available to you, why don't you just scan in a pair of jeans, and then take the scanned image and copy the stitching over onto your texture


if you dont' have a scanner i'm sure there are a few stock photo's of jeans patterns available to download.

i found this on my first page of g**gle searching

Also, there is a free Stitching brush set available here: Obsidian Dawn: FREE Photoshop Brushes - Stitching ( Sewing ) Brushes

Might be of some use?

You could also take off yours and hold them next to the screen, while you make a copy of them into your comp.
I'm talking of your jeans!

Another way is to pick up one of these stiching brustes and use Paths.
Paths are perfect for this kind of thing, use the pen tool to draw out your stitching line, then add a stroke with brush.

This will create a perfect line of stitching off any size u want with any brush you want depending on your brush settings at the time in the right direction. The pen tool isnt easy to get use to so practise a bit in its uses and its various functions but you'll get the hang of it

Theres a lot of tutorials that need paths on this site, im sure you will find a few but heres one that I found quite helpful:

BioRUST.com :: Tutorials >> Abstract Wireframes

good luck!

Is there any way you can get them to lay end to end instead of side by side with out reducing the brush size in PS7 ?
