Fashion Illustrations – Method 1, Series 1

I started by watching a YouTube Video called ‘How to Draw Fashion Templates No.1: The Tracing Method’ by the London college of fashion. To get a better understanding of this particular method of fashion illustration.

This is the cover image from a vogue magazine of Naomi Campbell, which I used to create my first illustration from.

I then added my own lines onto the cover image. The bold purple lines highlights the shape of the shoulders and the arms. The bold red line highlights the waist. These lines are helpful to use for guidance, I drew the lines onto my piece of paper first to use as a starting point.

Below is a link to a Time-Lapse video of me creating my first fashion illustration.

These are three drawings on three separate pieces of paper each drawing show development on from the previous one.

I am happy with the final result of my first illustration, I found the hardest part of creating this particular illustration was ensuring that I had the right proportions.
