Hi, I am Ioana Avram and I am a fashion designer and a fashion illustration teacher from Romania,
Europe.
Today we will learn together how to do some fashion sketches step by step.
So today I would recommend Koh-I-Noor Hardtmuth Toisson D'or 8B and the other one also Koh-I-Noor,
also 8 B. So, they are different, but also intense,
as black.
I will show you something.
So you have here the pencil.
This is HB - this is the pencil for writing.
You have here 2B, starting 2B until 8B and B means black.
They are very strong.
And the here you have the H, meaning hard.
So this means black and these are - you will see - for example here, they are not as dark
as this one, and you can not make different shades when you want to make a gradient.
So I will use this one, 8B, and I will draw a sketch, as we learned, with the symmetric
line, and the axes, this thoracic cage and then the position of the hands.
We will draw the axes at the beginning, and then the primary shapes and at the end, we
will just connect the shapes to have the full body.
And today I will show you how to do a fashion sketch
using markers and color pencils or just pencils - we will see.
The line shouldn't be equal everywhere because the line should change every time you use
it.
For example the line can change because of the position of the light or where the light
comes from or depending on the position of the body or if your form changes.
Here you have a straight line and then this line just changes its shape and then you have
a bold line here.
So this is for the position and then we start with the drawing of a costume.
You do this exercise in order to use our pencils and to control better your line.
We should be careful how we use the pencil and where is the contrast you will need to
put.
We will need also contrast.
I will use this water brush - I put some ink inside.
It's a Japanese water brush.
Usually, you just put water and you go outside to paint - but I use it otherwise - and I
added some black Chinese ink.
So you will see I can make the costume like this and then I use Derwent charcoal - for
example - for some details and accents.
It's darker then the pencils, of course.
And if I want some accessories, I can put some here
or some shoes here.
You just have to fill the legs with a strong color, a dark color for the lower part of
the body.
And for some accents I use for example Stedtler 8B - also 8B
It's a very dark pencil that you can use to highlight some shades if you want.
To accent some strong lines and that's it.
