making strides at the art of Fashion illustration

4/7/2014

Fashion illustration is an area of illustration with many a specific requirement for the fashion industry. It is crucial for a designer to be able to convey his or her ideas when it comes to shape, fabric, and silhouette. And illustration is the tool to do it. 

During my studies at the Academy of Art University, I have been focusing on improving my sketching and rendering skills. It is challenging but truly exciting - fashion illustration is ultimately a set of rules that can be learned. I have enjoyed reading books and watching tutorials on how to properly draw the fashion figure and render fabrics. A page from my sketchbook below shows color illustrations I found on Pinterest and my black-and-white sketches of these illustrations. Copying existing illustrations is a good exercise for hand-eye coordination and it is a fun activity for a rainy afternoon ... 

If you are getting into the field or just want to improve your own style, many artists share their knowledge on YouTube. I find tutorials by Yelen Aye and Zyra Bañez particularly applicable to what I need to focus on. Check them out!
