Step 1
Purchase drawing paper, a pencil and markers or colored pencils at a craft store. You can purchase these items inexpensively, but if you are considering fashion design as a career, you might want to invest in the higher quality items.
-
Step 2
Clip pictures out of fashion magazines and advertisements. This will help you get an idea of what types of clothing you would like to sketch. Get a variety of pictures that include women and men.
-
Step 3
Sketch the basic shape of a human body. Drawing books provide good examples for you to compare your sketch with. Start with the oval shape of the head then continue drawing the torso and the legs. The details of the hands and feet can be difficult to master, so try to draw the basic shape of them. Practice drawing the shape of the human body several times until you can draw it without referencing a picture.
-
Step 4
Examine one of the pictures you clipped from a magazine or advertisement. Use it as a guide and try to replicate it. Shade in the appropriate areas and color it in.
-
Step 5
Experiment with your own designs. Attempt to put your thoughts on paper and see if they are fashionable and wearable.
