STOP making these 5 mistakes when you flat sketch in Illustrator!

Illustrator can be a really efficient and effective tool for fashion designers. It's one of the most commonly used fashion design apps for fashion and technical designers, particularly useful for drawing a flat sketch. But as common as illustrator for fashion design is, people still tend to make some critical mistakes when drawing a fashion technical drawing that can result in more time and less accurate flat sketches.

Not closing the shapes in your fashion technical drawing
Creating stray point on your fashion design sketches
Not grouping your flat sketch
Not naming your colors
