Good fashion illustration is crucial to proper communication of design ideas and fabric qualities, such as drape and movement. It is one of the areas I want to improve the most. I often find that my ideas may fall flat when I cannot draw them correctly - the viewer may not understand a garment detail or think of an incorrect fabric.
So, some time ago, I decided to practice, practice, practice. It is so true that practice makes perfect - in my case, definitely better. I draw daily - I find a photo of a garment and then work to copy it closely and to communicate its most important elements.
It is raining today so I have more than a perfect opportunity to keep going at this important fashion design skill. Take a look at my latest work. I am practising a wide range of details and garments, looking about proper proportion, fabric drape, and feel of the overall look.
