How To Make A 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 one thing that one would have to take note of when drawing fashion style would be that all parts are very much exaggerated. Now the shadows and the folds of the clothes are very much unrealistic but they are used in order to highlight the good parts. Of course the body proportions and the stances of the models are also exaggerated.

Now the very first step to making a figure would be to get an old magazine and use some tracing paper to trace the silhouette of a picture of a model there. This is something that most beginners would do because most of them would have a hard time coming up with an outline from scratch. So get a pencil, a bunch of tracing paper, and a ruler in order to do this.

Now from the silhouette that has been traced from the magazine, one should make a puppet outline. Now what most artists would do before they draw people is that they would first make an outline in the form of a standing wooden puppet. This is done that they will have a guide wherein they can draw the details of the figure.

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.

Once that is done, one now has to draw the clothes on the model with the exaggerated folds and shadows. After one has already done that, then all he has to do would be to get a black pen to redraw the figure while darkening all the important parts that need to be highlighted. From there, he may then erase all of the pencil marks that were made a while ago.

Now notice that in fashion sketches, artists would add a lot of accessories and use a lot of colors. Notice that the artists would also give their figures some trendy or unusual hairstyles. This is to add style and a little bit of sass to the sketch.

Basically, these are some of the steps that beginners can follow. Now if one is already quite good, then he does not need to trace the outline of a model from a magazine anymore as he can just create his own original outline with his own pose. He may also experiment with some original styles that he comes up with.
