A Guide On How To Do 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 thing that one should do would be to make an outline of a figure that he would want to make. For beginners, it is recommended that they would just trace the silhouette of a model from a magazine using tracing paper. Basically, the things that he will be needing for this step would be some tracing paper, a pencil, and a ruler.

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.

After one has already created the puppet outline, then he can start creating his model with the clothes. To do this, all he has to do would be to first use a pencil to draw the shape of the face, the head, the arms, and all the other body parts using the outline as a basis. Now as stated above, the body parts have to be exaggerated which means that one would have to draw longer arms, a longer torso, longer legs, and a smaller head.

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 the beginners out there, here are some tips that can be followed when first starting out in this line of work. Now once one has gotten some practice already, then he may not need to trace the silhouette of a model from a magazine anymore. He can also try experimenting with different kinds of styles so that he can come up with his own style.
