Stripes

Note: I have been using Photoshop for 20 years so all references will be to PS CS6.

Stripes are not hard to make if they are straight, curved are a bit harder. You need good photos to see where they go and how wide they are. Generally the stripes line up with some part of the body. The size of the stripe would be in inches but we have to use pixels and you can not convert from one to the other as you can not have anything smaller than a pixel. If it looks good is all you can do.

Number one thing to do is make your stripes on a new layer.

To make a number of stripes the same size and spacing.

I put in two guide lines at about where the top and bottom ones should be. Next I draw a short line at the bottom guide line at a size I think will work then add a single brush point of the same size on top, repeat for the number of stripes you need. This may need to be done over with a deferent size brush to get the right number of stripes to fit the guide lines. The two Photos show what it looks like but I did change the color of the points. This is much faster to do than type how to do it.



Top is 5pix bottom is 6pix.
