How Do You Draw Fashion Design Templates?
Fashion illustration and technical sketches are part of the design process. The designer creates a road map for pattern-makers, sewers and cutters to follow by taking initial design concepts and transforming the sketches into illustrations by adding color and fabric textures. Most designers use illustration or technical sketch templates for repeated styles each season, which are commonly referred to as flats. Drawing these illustration and technical sketch templates enables new designers to familiarize themselves with fabrics’ natural drape and silhouettes. Draw your fashion illustration in your sketch pad in your chosen medium. Start with an easy design, such as a model in a basic, black sheath dress. Look through haute couture fashion magazines and study the stylized figures generally associated with fashion illustration. Note how each illustrator draws the model’s face, hair and garment, as well as what medium he uses, such as pastel, charcoal, wax crayon, marker, watercolor or draw
