Atelier Académics with Stacy Stewart Smith — Couture CAD, Session VII: Rhinestones and Crystals with Illustrator and Photoshop
Series II — Couture CAD, Session VII: Rhinestones and Crystals with Illustrator and Photoshop
In this session, Stacy Stewart Smith guides participants through the art of rendering luminous rhinestones and crystals digitally — from precise facet construction in Adobe Illustrator to the depth, brilliance, and prism effects achievable in Adobe Photoshop. Multiple stone cuts are explored, each built with attention to geometry, light behavior, and couture-level finish.
The session also covers efficient workflow practices for applying crystal embellishments across fashion flats, ensuring your digital illustrations carry the same luminous quality as hand-embellished couture.
Prerequisites: Working knowledge of Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. Basic flats are not covered in this session.
