Comment on Plaid Tutorial by Tetiel

I instantly love you for this. There's nothing quite like a pattern that actually follows the fabric. You see drawings, and I find especially in graphic novels, you see "cheap" plaids, stuff that's just put slapped onto the whole article of clothing in question. Stuff like this is wonderful though.

I've never managed to pull of anything plaid-like in any sort of past attempt, at least not very well. I think my biggest problem is probably the fact that I'm simply not very good at drawing parallel lines. Any tips on how I might be able to get better at that? Plaid's always quite nice, and I wouldn't at all mind using such patterns a bit here and there when I draw stuff.

Yeah I totally know what you mean. I think it's much easier to slap it on though xD Too much work to do it on every page. Well with parallel lines I cheat a little. I use the pen tool to basically "draft" it and I'm able to move them really easily if it doesn't look right.
