Fashion Drawing Tutorial Tips
by Pauline Weston Thomas
This is a great beginners tutorial on how to draw fashion models and templates for fashion desing. It describes all of the basic tools you will need to successfully sketch fashion designs. You can download free basic figure templates and print them out to use whenever you want.
Each pose is repeated 5 times from small to large giving a range of sizes that fit under A4 paper. On the other hand, if you want to design fashion clothes, there are plenty of picture examples of design briefs arranged in storyboards.
Here is a list of the topics covered in this wonderful tutorial:
The Basics for Fashion Sketching-For beginners who need to learn the basics.
Layout Paper-fine semi opaque paper that allows you to faintly see an image beneath it.
Fashion Silhouette Templates- The easiest way to draw fashion when you have limited skill.
Posture, Poses and Template Silhouettes- Your model should represent the style posture you want.
Free Fashion and Body Silhouette Template Outlines- Use spray glues or light glue sticks for paper.
Suitable Paper Glues and Adhesives- Use spray glues or light glue sticks for paper.
Suitable Adhesives for Fabric- For fabric and braids, use PVA glue, Copydex and Evostick wood glue.
Cartridge Paper- Cartridge paper is ideal for fashion drawing.
Putty Rubber- It doesn’t rub away the background paper like regular erasers.
Pencils- Pencils for fashion drawing should be soft B pencils.
Felt Pens- Some people like to colour the sketches they make using felt pens always.
Fine Drawing Pens- They are very useful to show intricate detail such as embroidery on a design.
Mounting Board- Very useful for presentation work.
A Sharp Knife- You will need a sharp Stanley type knife or surgical craft knife to trim card and paper.
Metal Ruler- A metal safety ruler will give you better cutting edges than a wooden ruler.
Cutting Board- To cut and trim your work, you can use an old wooden art board.
Masking Tape- Masking tape can be useful for repositioning the sample.
Variety Fabrics- Make samples of pin tucked, twin needled, quilted or embroidered pieces that give you a sample fabric as a design source for your fashion drawings.
