A Guide On How To Do Fashion Style Drawing

By Lena Stephenson


For the aspiring fashion artists out there, it is very important to perfect the art of sketching fashion style as it is the most basic thing that one will be learning. Now fashion style drawing is a specific way of sketching a person or a figure for the sole purpose of introducing a new piece of clothing. Of course there is a certain way to do this that all beginners have to learn.

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.

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 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.

Now one has to also make sure that he exaggerates some of the other things as well. Usually, drawn figures would have really unusual hairstyles or accessories. They would also have some strange poses that look somewhat unrealistic.

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.
