David Downton is a very well known fashion illustrator, who has worked with some big fashion brands such as Chanel, Topshop and Dior.I have picked 3 of David Downtown’s fashion illustration to inspire my own fashion illustrations in a similar styles.
This first fashion illustration looks like it has been with a marker pen, such as a Promarker. This illustration has been created on a yellow background with details of the dress added in black with a variations of weight of line with some lines being thin whilst other sew very thick. I really like this style of fashion illustration and I particularly like the use of a bold block of colour to then add your design too.
I think that the illustration below has been created using watercolours, I also love, that for this dress the bodice and skirt are both created using a block of colour, one red and one orange.
I think that the final illustration I have chosen to focus on has been created using the combination of different coloured lines and thickness of line to create this stunning illustration.
