✨ Creating a Sporty Knitted Crop Top ✨
🔹 Step 1. Base
Open a new project in the Tops tab. Choose a simple fitted shape without extra details — this will be the base of the top.
🔹 Step 2. Crop Top Shape
Switch to Points Mode and shorten the length to the waistline or slightly above, forming a cropped silhouette.
Optionally, widen the armholes a bit to make it look sportier.
🔹 Step 3. Knitted Fabric & Color
In the Fabric tab, pick a texture with a light ribbed surface to imitate knitwear.
Set the color to yellow for a bright and sporty look.
🔹 Step 4. Shadows
Go to the Shadows tab and select the standard option — the second one from the list. It highlights the form nicely.
🔹 Step 5. Accent Lines
Add a thin line at the top to create the effect of a small fabric collar, slightly raised at the neck.
Add another line at the bottom to imitate an elastic band: alternate two shades so it looks more realistic.
🔹 Step 6. Extra Brush Layer
Create a new Brush layer.
Use a darker shade under the bust and along the sides to enhance depth.
Use a lighter shade in the middle and top areas to add highlights and make the crop top more expressive.
✨ The result is a sporty yellow knitted crop top with a collar and elastic hem, looking both stylish and realistic.
