Testing out rendering ideas pays off IN FASHION ILLUSTRATION 

9/24/2014

I have been enjoying learning about fashion illustration. Yet, it is this part of a fashion designer's skill set that I need to work on the most. It can be intimidating as fashion illustration is crucial to being able to convey one's ideas and creativity and innovation. There are so many books, videos, and online resources - I made it my goal to research and to practice daily.

Rendering white is a tricky endeavor but once I understood that white is really about varying shades of grey and even black, I dove into testing different tools. Below, you can see an example of a photo I found in a fashion magazine. I sketched the overall shape and then made copies of the outline to use different media to finish the illustration.

For the middle image, I used color pencils and crayons. I touched up certain areas with a black ink pen to give the illustration a dimension. The image on the right is done in markers only. I think the two illustrations do have a slightly different feel to them and I am excited to keep testing ideas!

Do you have a skill you wish to hone in on? What is your strategy?
