Trying my hand at fashion illustration

Heeeeya!

ConceptArt buddy Ed lent me some time ago, a book on fashion illustration. It’s an absolutely MASSIVE book with heaps of wicked tips and a really good resource. I only had the chance to start going through it yesterday (slackie) but I can already see the benefit it can have on my drawing. It’s a very technical book going into detail about composition, colour, proportion etc and stressing the importance of practice, practice practice!

So these are the first few sketches I have done from it. Nothing groundbreaking – they are rough copies of sketches in the book but I really need to get that croquis down. I realise I am very very terrible at drawing the hips/pelvis. Always had iss-ues with it.

See…..iss-ues

And some clothes – another tough area. Folds and what-not. Yipes!

So there you have it. I’ll get back to it then! :-D
Ciao!
