How to Design Templates (Using Free Software)

About This Video

Brandon Corral is a popular online video streamer, artist, and instructor known for his unique approach to adding depth, detail, and textures to leather designs.

In this video workshop, Brandon shares an in-depth look at his process for creating templates for projects. Throughout the class, he starts with an object, creates a rough pattern using a free computer program, builds a prototype, iterates, and then finishes the final template in a printable pattern.

This could have been two separate classes, one on template design and one on how to use software for creating templates; however, he seamlessly combined those concepts into one very insightful workshop for skills of all levels. 

This is a live, online class recording, so viewers benefit from both audience questions and workshop moderation.

The free design software demonstrated in this video is Inkscape and a list of keyboard shortcuts referenced throughout the video can be found at https://inkscape.org/doc/keys.html
