Sketch Fashion Designs
It's easy to sketch something, even if you don't find yourself an artist, if you know the right stuff. Here is some info on sketching the best fashion designs like the designers do.
Steps
- Invest in a good stencil set. After a while practicing with those, you'll find that the best technique is light, sketchy-esque penciling to begin with.
- Once you get accustomed to the stencils, start drawing without them. Try drawing the bodies first, then drawing the clothes on the body. This helps you draw to scale and makes it easier.
- Colored pencils are the perfect tool for sketching. Color really adds to your designs, even if they are simple. don't forget really different patterns, even if they're only something like navy stripes or a neat Aztec print.
- Have several sketchbooks that help keep everything organized, but a folder would work just as well. It's nice to have something to keep track of designs in.
- Once you finalize your sketch, you can choose to create an entire line using the same style. Then I just come up with a title and list the articles of clothing on each model.
- Some nice final touches are haircuts that go with the outfits, and don't forget accessories
