This ideal is then aligned to a contemporary look that is viewed through the visual lens of fashion. Since the late s and s exaggerated proportions have generally prevailed and continue to exert an artistic influence over most fashion drawings. Most of the additional height is gained through the legs, with some added to the neck and a little added to the torso above the natural waist. Most women in the real world stand around 5ft 5in or 5ft 6in, but a fashion figure needs to project greater height in order to better show off the clothes and communicate the look to an audience, usually through exaggerated gestural poses.
Of course, a woman who might be 5ft 2in could be proportioned the same as a woman standing 5ft 10in but for fashion purposes neither would offer the desired ideal proportions for communicating the look. When drawing the fashion figure the look might refer to the prevailing styles of the season, such as the position of the fashion waist, or it may be an exploration of voluminous or contoured clothing styles with reference to influences from a particularly favoured model or celebrity.
There are fundamental differences between the fashion proportions for drawing men and women. For men the drawing approach is altogether more angular.
See Drawing men on page It is important to consider the appropriate art materials and media, such as charcoal, pen or pencil, as well as paper type and the eventual scale of work. Working to larger sizes, such as A3 or A2, is often best when starting out or simply for loosening up see page for more on paper sizes.
Drawing is a process that can be improved and enhanced with regular practice and life drawing offers the particular opportunity of developing and improving hand-to-eye coordination. This is essentially about trusting yourself to spend more time looking at the figure in front of you, rather than by glancing at the figure then looking at the emerging drawing itself and drawing from memory.
This is a common mistake among life-drawing students. It is very important to study the figure before you start to draw. Try to make sure that you are in a good viewing position and then analyse the pose.
The balance line is an imaginary line that drops from the base of the centre of the neck down to the floor at the position of the foot. As a general rule, the leg that is supporting the weight of the pose, which should always be drawn before the other leg, will curve down to the floor and should join up with the balance line at the outside edge of the foot.
Proportions in fashion drawing represent an ideal, so it follows that the life figure does not need to be drawn as an exact representation. This requires interpretative visualisation, which is an essential release for fashion drawing. In this regard it is important to note the value of line quality in the fashion-drawing process. Line quality describes the varieties of drawn lines or marks that have their own inherent characteristics depending on the media that is used, the paper quality, the speed at which the line is made and even the angle of the pen or pencil as it moves along the surface of the paper.
Distinct from adding tone and shading techniques, the use of line to convey essential information is integral to most fashion drawings. Some of the most expressive and visually engaging fashion poses are the result of linear drawings, where selective line quality is used to maximum effect.
An understanding of fashion proportions and the standing balance line is essential as a building block for more gestural poses, which instil movement and personality into a fashion drawing. In addition to studying poses from life, it is also possible to develop poses by tracing over figurative photographs in magazines, but this needs to be approached with care: consider the image only as a starting point.
Fashion is, after all, a human activity so it follows that developing and creating studied poses is a useful exercise and will aid the development of templates or croquis for future use. While the pose Croquis is a French word for a sketch.
In fashion should be relevant to the context of the clothing for example, it terms, it describes a linear would make little sense to draw a sporty pose for a wedding dress drawing of a figure that may or an evening gown , creating the pose is much more about the be used as a template over which to trace and draw a body underneath. Look for movement lines that run through the design or garment. Figurative body — not the outline of the figure — noting the intersections of the fashion templates or croquis pose at the bust, waist and hip positions.
The leg supporting the are typically exaggerated to a nine- or ten-heads weight must be grounded, but the other limbs can be modified or proportion. The figures in 2 and 4 are line drawings of different poses; 1 and 3 show studies of poses in a fashion context. The very personal and unique attributes that a face can contribute to a drawing are worth exploring through practice and exercises.
Make-up trends continue to have a direct influence on contemporary fashion faces and it is always useful to collect magazine tear sheets from which to study and evaluate different faces and proportions.
Noses nostrils; they can be useful for tone and shade. Structurally, the are rarely given any prominence in displaying earrings, if appropriate. The mouth is usually and smudging effects but take care arranged halfway between the eyes not to overwork them. Eye shadow and the base of the chin. The mouth can be added for greater effect and The fashion figure could be considered in two parts to provide colour. Lashes should with its upper and lower lips.
The nose may either appeal of the drawing. If it is visible the hairline should be drawn around a quarter of the way down from the top of the oval shape of the head. Line, shade and colour can all be added according to the style requirements and context.
The fashion figure Arms, hands, legs and feet 1—3 Studies of hands and arms When drawing a fashion figure it is important to consider the hands, by Holly Mae Gooch.
The standing figure needs to be drawn with due consideration of the balance line, so that the leg that supports the weight of the figure is drawn at a gentle curve down to the floor, with the outside edge of the foot placed where it meets the balance line. Correctly positioning the leg that supports the weight of the figure is critical in determining the credibility of the pose; consider this in relation to the upper body position and the placement of the arms, which can often counterbalance the exaggerated form of the legs.
Although it is helpful to understand anatomy and muscle tone in relation to figure drawing, for fashion drawings the arm muscles are not emphasised on women.
Instead, the lines of the female figure should remain gently curved and drawn as a continuous line wherever possible.
Longer lines are a discernible characteristic of fashion drawing and help to convey a sense of style and confidence. The upper arm is attached to the shoulder from which it may pivot depending on the angle of the torso. It has a smooth, gently tapering upper section that reaches down to the elbow position. This part of the arm tapers more visibly to where it joins the hand.
In drawing terms, the hands have two main parts: the front or back of the palm and the fingers and thumb. Both parts may be elongated to offer the fashion figure a range of gestures and actions, which will all enhance the drawing.
Fingernails may be included but knuckles are not usually emphasised: too much detail on a hand can make it look wrinkled. You could also try drawing the hand resting on the hip with the fingers hidden from view.
When starting out it is interpretation of an ideal figure rather the knee; and the lower leg or calf, helpful to practise sketching bare than realistic proportions, so it which joins the foot. The upper leg feet, but the foot will usually be follows that drawing the legs is an should be gently rounded and taper hidden from view within a shoe, exercise in artistic licence.

The overall look will upper leg and thigh, and below the finished drawing is usually indicated be determined by the angle of the knee to where the ankle meets the with a slightly extended line from foot and whether or not the shoe foot.
Referring to the principle of one side of the upper leg to indicate has a heel. It is not height of the female figure i. Physical gender Thomas Rothery. In fashion drawing terms, men can cover a wider age range than most fashion drawings of women, rather like male models whose careers tend to extend beyond their female counterparts. The male figure can be elongated to nine or ten heads in height; when compared to the female figure the torso is longer and correspondingly the overall leg length is slightly shorter, particularly the lower leg from below the knee.
Perhaps the most striking difference, however, is the emphasis of muscle tone, which is applied more readily to the male figure. When drawing male and female fashion figures on the same page, the male figure should stand slightly taller than the female, or at the same height.
First the before the addition of the arms, and holding a ball or an umbrella. The waist The hands are not used as Instead of an oval egg shape the size is much thicker than for women expressively as they are for women, head usually appears more angular but the line from the waist to the hips much beyond gripping objects or and chiselled with a squared-off is almost parallel and should always being positioned in pockets.

This Martins College of Art and Design. It works because I affected me in the most profound This involves working with large love both equally. Drawing was an elective subject groups of very talented people who in the design school.
When working have varying points of view and How would you describe your in the drawing studio we always tastes. Being part of student drawing style?

Then I was very fortunate to now, was to enable the student something new and in-depth be taught by Elizabeth Suter as a to develop their confidence, to coming through.
The two come together at some point. What type of media do you like to use when you draw? I like to work with mixed media on paper: oil sticks, pastels, graphite pencils, inks, gouache, brushes and pens. The quality of paper is very important to me, both in terms of the texture and also its ability to hold all the above and I like to see the paper through the media.
I also like to see what happens to the media afterwards when it is viewed under a magnifying glass. It is a whole other world of marks and colour not seen when just viewed with the naked eye. What common mistakes do students make when drawing? Both are essential. What elements make up a visually engaging composition? The elements that help make up a visually engaging composition are the use of the negative space and how the figure is placed on the page.
Traditional Japanese artists are masters of it. What or who inspires you to draw? Drawing is hard work. Everybody has individual qualities that are attractive but certain temperaments can be the key. I always try to put in the touch of the hand. In contrast to the more stylised approach used to draw the fashion figure, this chapter introduces the realistic proportions and techniques for drawing flats and specifications, or specs as they are more commonly known.
We discuss the role of computers in fashion drawing and their application to a variety of presentation enhancements and visual formats. This includes an introduction to dedicated software programs that continue to be developed and refined to meet the needs of the fashion industry.
Visual examples distinguish between the different presentation requirements of technical drawings for fashion. Finally, there is an insightful interview with the director of a design consultancy that produces specs for a number of international clients. While both terms are widely used in design education and across the ready-to-wear fashion industry, there are some important differences between them.
A flat is an individual garment, or series of garments, drawn in the flat to represent a three-dimensional form as if it was laid down and viewed from above. Front and back views are usual, although side views can also be included depending on the visual information to be conveyed. Flats are essentially linear drawings, which may be enhanced for presentation purposes.
A spec short for specification is a more technically orientated and exacting presentation of an individual garment, drawn in a precise linear style to convey detailed technical information. The drawing is presented on a specification sheet, an internal document that a company uses for manufacturing purposes, which contains essential technical information such as the assembly processes, fabric, trimmings and costings.
In short, a student designer to demonstrate their darts that shape the garment and who does not understand the basic knowledge and understanding of an any additional features such as elements of fit and shape will be less individual garment.
Flats and specs gathers or pleats. It is drawing might be, but rather with or tone. It is also important to include always a good idea to draw a flat the detail and characteristics of the back views of all style lines to or spec as if you had to give it to garment. These characteristics could demonstrate a full understanding of someone to cut or drape without be defined through a series of three the garment.

As pocket, for example, which does not or ten-heads figure, a more realistic your level of technical knowledge affect the fit of the garment but is eight-heads figure is used. Emma Frame. It is important to consider what the purpose of the flat will be. This 2 Flats by Nuttawan might sound rather obvious, but flats can be applied to several Ness Kraikhajornkiti. The first of these might be to demonstrate a full understanding of a design that is presented as an artistic illustration or figurative drawing.
It can sometimes be appropriate to include a flat alongside a figurative drawing in order to better explain the design. However, this has to be considered in relation to the compositional value of the drawing; for some illustrations it may be unsuitable. Arranging flats on a separate presentation board is another option.
Another purpose of flats is to demonstrate range planning skills. In this regard flats serve an important function: they are extremely useful for breaking down a collection into its component parts. This can be by product, such as a visual analysis of all the skirts or tops within a collection; or by theme, such as grouping together all garments that make up a travel-themed capsule within a larger seasonal collection.
Use the same template or enhancements such as croquis figure for all your flats within the same presentation to colour and line quality. Hand-drawn flats can also Increasingly, presentation flats are being coloured up be drawn larger than their intended scale and reduced down to the using software programs required size. While flats should Kaledo design software. It is good to practise drawing a symmetrical garment by hand: draw half the garment and fold it over to trace off the other half.
However, perfect symmetry is not essential: one sleeve could be folded at the elbow, for example, to show more detail or simply to enhance the visual effect. This is because a specification drawing has an Aaron Lee Cooper. Technical specifications contain the visual information required for the manufacture of an individual garment in relation to its associated unit costs, such as all trimmings and design details, which might include labels or an embroidered logo.
They are not used for range planning or to visualise an outfit unless, for example, the garment is made up of two parts for manufacturing purposes, such as a coat with a detachable hood. Specification drawings are always produced after a design has been formulated.
Technical specifications should always be drawn in a clear and linear style: they need to be accurate and clear enough in their detail for a factory manager or garment technologist to understand them and to provide sufficient information for a sample machinist to be able to assemble the garment without additional instruction. Most fashion students will not be at this advanced level when starting out. Moreover, not all fashion designers will be required to produce a factory spec.
However, in practice, fashion students and designers should be able to understand them and produce a detailed line drawing of a garment when working with a pattern maker.
Specification drawings serve an important function in identifying and eliminating potential faults before production. Desktop scanners illustrations by Nuttawan and more efficient graphics tablets soon followed, enabling designers Ness Kraikhajornkiti. The development of digital drawing and image-editing software during the late s heralded the arrival of early vector graphics and bitmaps.
In simple terms, vector graphics are geometric formations such as lines, points and curves, which are based on mathematical equations to represent a digital image. They produce clear lines that are suitable for drawing flats or specs; linear quality is not reduced when scaled up or down in size. Bitmaps are the data structure represented by a grid of pixels that makes up a digital image, measured as dots per inch dpi.
Pixels are the building blocks of bitmap images such as digital photographs and scanned images. The more pixels an image has per unit, the better the quality of the image for colour and resolution. Since their early application, graphics software programs have steadily developed and expanded into a variety of sophisticated user platforms, which can be used for enhancing fashion presentations.
Foremost among the available software are Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, which have become industry standards. Photoshop is a graphics editing program that is primarily geared towards photo manipulation. Illustrator is a vector-based drawing program, originally developed for the Apple Macintosh in the mids. Today it has evolved into a sophisticated digital drawing tool that allows for the conversion of bitmap imagery into vector art.
Illustrator can also incorporate images and text with vector graphics to enhance presentations. Macromedia Freehand is another powerful vector graphics tool that is orientated towards the desktop publishing market and now owned by Adobe. For example, French company Lectra has developed Kaledo, a Windows- based fashion design software package. As well as their labour-saving capabilities, these graphics applications and CAD solutions offer extended opportunities for designers to modify their ideas and working processes.
The ability to draw by 2 hand will always be relevant in fashion and should be practised and maintained. But increasingly, as we shall see later, developments in fashion illustration are witnessing a synergy between hand-drawing styles and digital enhancements. It consists of a network of sport-specific brands such as experienced and dedicated Adidas, Puma and Tommy Hilfiger How important are computers designers; we take on a variety of Sports, as well as lifestyle brands to what you draw?
I also Computers are vital to my work and textile sector. Our work includes had my own brand, Yucon, which as they allow me to be clear and fashion design, graphic design and was successful but we ran out of specific in detail; any alterations can logo design.

They make as designer and manager I decided it easier to share the information that I prefer freelancing or self- between me, my clients and employment so my current situation, factories; I think they are essential managing my own freelance to any business these days and I business, suits me perfectly.
My favourite is Illustrator on Mac as it is fantastic for technical drawings and it links up with the whole Adobe Suite such as Photoshop and others.
What makes a good fashion flat or technical drawing? Good drawings are important as they can save time and not halter the progress. What are your favourite garments or subjects to draw? I really enjoy designing outerwear as I think these garments in particular require you to think jointly about function, style and technical aspects due to the different end use such as who will wear it, where, when, in what weather and so on.
This allows me to indulge in the details of the garment, internal as well as external, to create maximum style and functionality. Do you have any advice for someone starting out in the fashion industry? Make sure you love it, persevere in the industry and find a career path that suits you! I like things full of colour Plovmand. Colour theory is also introduced and evaluated in relation to hand-rendering techniques and the development of computer-aided drawings and associated colour schemes.
The particular role of mixed media and collage for fashion is considered, with a variety of supporting visuals that provide an introduction to the wide range of media choices that have become integrated into contemporary fashion artwork.
We also look at the application of colour to different fabrics, textures and prints. The chapter ends with an engaging interview with a fashion design illustrator who has collaborated with a number of international fashion houses to produce colour prints and textiles for their seasonal collections. The introduction of marker pens in the s confirmed a particularly significant shift towards faster and more responsive media, which were specifically design-orientated rather than historically rooted in a tradition of artist materials.
Marker pens still exert a powerful influence over fashion sketching styles and drawing techniques. Today, however, the range of colour media that is available to fashion designers and design students must also be considered in the context of computer-aided design software.
When most of us look at images of clothes in a magazine or see a fashion window display we are immediately drawn to the colour of the clothing and accessories.
Moreover, fashion collections are routinely designed and visually merchandised into seasonal colour themes. Colour is a fundamental, powerful force in the design process, from fabric selection through to the completion of a design. It is also a vital component in fashion that can have a transforming effect upon audience perceptions and reactions. Some designers such as Matthew Williamson or Manish Arora are well-known for their engaging use of colour, while other designers use colour to make a statement or add specific pieces to their collections.
Fashion labels such as Basso Brooke, Cacharel and Eley Kishimoto are all known for their use of colour through printed textiles. The selection and application of colour is a decision driven by emotion but it can have a transforming effect on a design. Consider, for example, a dress design conceived and drawn in beige and then the same design presented in red.
We would respond to them differently, even though the dress would be in the same style. Such is the emotive power of colour. It is an artistic or design decision to select a colour and apply Catwalking. The appearance of a colour is dependent on light: it will take Catwalking.
The multitude of shades, tones and hues that are available today through synthetic or natural processes can be broadly identified within a colour wheel classification. The first 2 Examples of different categories: primary, secondary and is a monochromatic colour scheme, colour schemes.
The three primary colours are in which a single colour is used with red, yellow and blue. These may be its various tints and shades. The considered as the foundation colours second is an analogous colour since they are used to create all scheme. This is when a colour such other colours and are equidistant on as red is used in combination with its the colour wheel. The combination of adjacent hues such as red-orange two primary colours creates three and red-violet.
The third type of secondary colours: orange, green colour scheme is made up of a and violet, which are also equidistant variety of contrasting colours and on the colour wheel. The six tertiary includes the complementary scheme.
These equidistant colours wheel are used together. For make up red-orange, red-violet, example, red and green are yellow-green, yellow-orange, blue- opposites, and are considered green and blue-violet.
Colours may complementary colours when used also be divided into cool and warm together as they make each other categories: cool colours are classified appear brighter and more intense. When mixing colours, a derivation of the complementary tint of a colour is made by adding scheme and uses three colours white, while a darker shade is made comprising any hue and the two by adding black. This could be, for example, a combination of red, yellow-green and blue-green.
They also employ fashion- sales. Fashion designers will often direction and market-trend research orientated illustrators who contribute visit their suppliers to discuss colours for fashion and interiors up to two to their publications with hand-drawn for the coming season and will work years in advance of the selling illustrations alongside CAD artwork closely with their textile partners to season.
Lab dips are reviewed in a light box under controlled lighting conditions and may be analysed with a spectrometer. The ability to draw fabric convincingly is a useful skill for any designer or fashion illustrator; it is often taught to fashion students as a means of broadening their drawing skills and their knowledge of fabrics.
The process is usually referred to as fabric rendering. Of course, there are many different types of fabrics to draw and while some might have surface texture and pattern, others do not. A designer sketch or linear fashion drawing should communicate a convincing understanding of the chosen fabric or fabrics. For more artistic illustrations the rendering process can be somewhat looser and more interpretative. The best way to start is by copying a real fabric swatch. Much like drawing from life, this entails keen observation and evaluation of the fabric before starting the drawing process.
Selection of appropriate media is critical: prepare a variety of colour media, which can be used in combination. To start with it is best to draw to the same scale as the fabric. To simplify things it can help to categorise fabrics into a select number of groups such as woollen and textured fabrics, shiny fabrics, sheer fabrics, knits, patterns and prints. It is worth attempting each group of fabrics, since they are all likely to be drawn at some time.
Marker pens or gouache can be used to lay down the base colour as a wash effect, while colour pencil or a slightly dry brush can be added to create the desired texture or brushed appearance. Tweeds can be drawn with the addition of cross hatching and flecks; try pronounced twill weaves with a sharp pencil line.
Wool plaids are typically built up in layers, starting with a base colour created as a wash followed by weft and warp colour bands. Darker layers are usually added later with finer lines towards the end, especially for the lightest colour, drawn in pencil. Shiny fabrics 1 Rendering shiny fabrics for the first time can often be more challenging than opaque fabrics and, since they reflect light, typically need to be considered in relation to a light source.
Shiny fabrics such as taffetas, charmeuse and satins should be drawn with a combination of dark, medium and light tonal values. Sometimes it is effective to leave white space to indicate where the light has the most pronounced effect on the 2 surface of the fabric.
This applies to pale or white fabrics, such as those used for evening or bridal wear; Colouring and rendering these fabrics have tonal variations.
Marker pens, watercolour paints and Indian inks are all useful media for rendering shiny fabrics and can be used in combination with colour pencil for accents. Rendering these fabrics presents unique challenges as there can be many values of a colour depending on whether the fabric is layered or worn over the skin.
