Drawing Models & Fashion Illustration

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm David Clemen on behalf of Expert Village. Today on the show we're going to do fashion illustration. In closing, I just wanted to go over a few things about fashion illustration. First it should be fun, second it should be exciting and third it should pop off the page. So these are just some examples of different fashion illustrations, different styles, and different mediums. This for example is colored pencil, its mono chromatic, this is marker very loose, and the one we just went over is very loose and sketchy. This is more elegant. You notice that the proportions are extremely enlarged and elasticized if you will. You even have almost photo realistic with the marker that you can do. You can go almost abstract. So there are lots of different things you can do but it's really about the clothes. That's what the fashion illustration is for, is to show off the clothes. So you don't want to go too stylized, but you do want to show that it's sexy, it's fun and it's exciting. And you want to make the models in the clothes move. And that's really what it's all about."
