This Friday is dedicated to fashion illustration but rather to show the work of a specific artist that inspires me and I admire I share with you my passion for fashion sketches. The illustrations you see don't have one specific style but they are a small collection of styles can take for inspiration for your own portfolio.
I always wanted to write a post about fashion sketches, but hardly I find something that I like. I'll be too demanding in terms of fashion illustration?
Sometimes these preparatory sketches leave me a bit perplexed because are squared and too little realistic . Generally the characteristics that set them apart are triangular faces and pointed, legs and arms too long and always wrong, long feet and ankles are too big and that even the fawns Disney have.
Let's say that for me it is too disproportionate, surreal because even the models wearing them are so. In addition I like curves. Although I am a woman I like curves!
Quiet is not becoming a post against anorexia and in favour of girls “curvy” (even if...…) in this specific case I just a matter of aesthetics with regard to fashion illustrations.
Here is explained why I love to madness watercolour sketches, are among the media more complicated to use but are great fashion illustration since they are barely mentioned and shaded, almost leave you to imagine that there is something else in addition to ’angle’. Fade away gently into the absence of color and so I leave my brain to decide if the model's ankle isn't perfect.
But this post collects a series of fashion sketches I especially like, I hope you'll like this selection and that will inspire your creativity.
