Tips On Fashion Style Drawing

By Lena Stephenson


Now if one is going to be a fashion designer, then he has to take note of how to draw a figure because figures in this field are drawn differently as compared to contemporary art. Now for those who would want to enter into this field, here are some tips on how to do fashion style drawing. Sketching figures is entirely different and also a little bit more complex.

Of course when one would draw in this way, he has to know that all the figures are exaggerated one way or another. One of the ways that they are exaggerated would be that the clothes are all folded and would have a lot of shadows so that the clothes will look nice. Now the poses and also the body parts of the models are also very exaggerated.

For the very first step, it will definitely help if one would first trace the figure of an actual model from a magazine. To do this, one would first have to have a pencil, a ruler, and some tracing paper. When he has gotten all of those materials, then he has to trace the model of his choice on the tracing paper using the pencil and the ruler for measurements.

Now once one has already traced the silhouette, then the second step is to create a wooden puppet outline. The whole purpose of the outline is to help the artist be able to know how to draw the parts and the poses properly. Basically, he will just use some lines and basic shapes in order to form the wooden puppet outline.

Now after the creation of a puppet outline, then the next step would be to fill it in with the body parts and clothes. Now in order to do this, first use a pen to start drawing the details of the figure by using the outline as a guide to sketching. Now when one would draw in this way, he has to exaggerate the body parts a little bit by making the arms longer, the legs longer, and of course the head smaller.

Of course with the aid of the outline, he can start drawing the clothes and adding some exaggerated folds. Once one has already finished that, then he has to trace the pencil sketch using a black inked pen in order to shade all of the important details. Once he has done this, then he has to make sure that the pencil marks are also erased.

Another thing that one has to do is to always exaggerate all proportions. Maybe give the model sassy hairstyles or some accessories that are not usually seen. Of course the poses have to be exaggerated as well like when one would look at a model from the runway.

So for all the aspiring designers out there, do take note of all these very important tips. Now one thing to take note of is that creativity is extremely important in this field. He has to create his own styles and his own concept using his pencil and some paper.
