As a fashion designer, I need to be able to communicate my ideas visually. Hence, fashion illustration is a great part of my skill set; something I have been focusing on daily. I challenge myself to design a dress every day and to use a variety of illustration media to advance my skills.
Lately, I have been using the Prismacolor Premier Double-Ended Markers. They are a very popular brand. I have a set of 50 markers which allows me to experiment with many different colors. Each marker has a thin hard tip and a thick softer tip. The double ends allow for a multitude of finishes.

Below you can see four examples of my work. It is clear that each tip of the marker gives me an opportunity to express my ideas in a different manner. For instance, the thin tip is great for details, while the thick tip adds volume and movement to the sketch. Furthermore, I enjoy layering the colors to get new shades and hues. The possibilities are endless!
