I am a beginner when it comes to fashion illustration in Photoshop. I have been practicing my rendering skills and have focused on the proper illustration of the fashion figure and representation of the fabric. Last semester at the Academy of Arts University, however, I took a class that focused on the use of Photoshop in fashion design.
The program is certainly amazing for moodboards and other presentation boards for fashion collections. This time I learned about the endless possibilities for fashion illustration. I sketched a simple figure by hand and then scanned the outline in to open in the program (you can see the original figure on the left below). The figure on the right demonstrates my experimentation with color and texture.
I worked to show dimension in the hair with different shades of brown and played around with beige and nude colors to catching the skin properly. In the fabrics, I created a pattern and then applied it to a front section of the dress.
I have a lot of learning to do but am an avid learner and looking forward to making my designs and sketches look professional through the use of Photoshop.
