Hello! My name is Aleatoria and Ive just made a beret, that ill admit could use some improvement, byt definetly reallly fun to do 😊
So, I use berets a lot on my outfits and I have a white and a black one (plus some of the oficial ones that have usally fun colors or charms) but I couldnt find a beige one that I loved, so I used this reference photo:
, which contains one of my MOST dreaded tool…. FOLDS, lets get into it
SoI started with the reference and the base, but I had to change the siluette a bit for it to be more precise
Turned into this:
Then add two “forms” for details (red)
Add texture, color and play with brightness and shadows:
Then I usually hide the back part of the garment, I personally think it looks better in the miniature and makes clear what object it is
Then the deadead folds
(which turned out UGLY, so I backtracked)
Then tried to add some light at the top with a brush, then erased the light in the little thingy at top.
I also added a little tag and VOILA, a happy, foldless beret.
If someone knows the trick to making folds, i would be very happy to learn it from you.
TYSM 😁
