Hi, I am Ioana Avram and I am a fashion designer and a fashion illustration teacher from Romania,
Europe.
We will learn together how to do some fashion sketches step by step.
So today we said we will learn about how to do a fashion sketch.
I will use some special pencils, for example Staedtler, it's a German mark.
You have here the number of the pencil - so it's 8B.
This means the color is very dark, the shade is very dark, and then, you have another brand
that i would recommend, it's Toison d'Or, and the last one, you will see here, it's
Koh-I-Noor.
And Koh-I-Noor also has the gray pencils.
They are almost the same like this one.
This ones I would recommend because they have a darker color, a darker shade.
So, for the beginning, the difference between 8B for example and B, like this one ( you
will see the numbers of the pencils: 3B and 2B).
So you have a lot of range of different pencils.You will see that, the bigger the number is, the
darker the color is.
Like this one, compared to, for example, 2B - that it's not so dark.
So, at the beginning, we will leave an empty frame around the page, like this.
It could be like one or two fingers, depending on the size of the paper.
So you have this safe area, just to make sure you will not put your figure here, or here,
or on the left or on the right side.
Then, you'll split this in two, into equal parts: so this is equal with this, and then,
depending on the size of the paper - but usually on this A4 - so it's an A4 format - you will
need your thumb like this, and then you have the shape of the human figure.
You will have this one replicated by 7 times and a half - until nine.
So this means the had enters nine times or seven and a half in your human body and then
you will leave half of the size of the human head - this is for the neck here and then
you will choose your shoulder line that will go down and having this line down it means
that the other line - or the hips - will go up.
And then you connect the upper part of this line - so this is AB - the B part you have
to connect with this, with the symmetric line, because otherwise your human body will fall
in one part or the other and then this one you can connect: you can go like this, or
here, or you can go like here and this, and then you just have this line that should be
parallel with the link of the knee, and then you can choose what's the position of your
leg.
After you did all these, you should know that half this size is the size where the hands
are finished , like this.
In the beginning you should do the axes, and then we will do the primary shapes and at
the end the connections between the shapes.
Ok.
So, we will do the cylinders now, like primary shapes: cylinders, spheres, cone and cube.
And then here.
The hand.
And once the drawing is finished you just go to the third step.
And you just connnect the shapes.
Very easily because you have the previous two: axes and primary shapes that will help
you draw the human body and then you just connect these simple shapes.
This is a very important muscle: because it is the bigger in the human body.
And another pair of muscles: this one is bigger, this one is smaller, this is on the left side
and this is on the interior side of the leg.
You just connect them and then the lower part of the leg and we are almost finished.
You just add some details if you want, to the human face.
Just to trace the axes where the eyes will be positioned, and the nose and also the lips,
and we are done.
