Fashion Sketching

Fashion Sketching Basics

Fashion sketching is an important part of the fashion design process. It allows designers to quickly and easily communicate their ideas and concepts visually. In this lesson, we will cover the basics of fashion sketching, including the tools and techniques used, as well as some tips for getting started.

Tools Needed

When it comes to fashion sketching, there are a few key tools that you will need. These include:

  • Pencils (preferably in a range of hardnesses)
  • Erasers
  • Sketch paper
  • A ruler

You may also want to invest in some colored pencils or markers to add some color to your sketches.

Creating a Croquis

The first step in fashion sketching is to create a croquis, or a basic template of a human figure. This will serve as the foundation for all of your sketches. There are many different croquis templates available online, or you can create your own by tracing over a photograph of a model.

Sketching Your Designs

Once you have your croquis, you can begin sketching your designs on top of it. Start with basic shapes and lines to create a rough outline of your design, and then add in details like buttons, zippers, and pockets. Remember to pay attention to proportion and scale, as well as the drape and movement of the fabric.

Experimenting with Sketches

Finally, don't be afraid to experiment and try new things with your sketches. Fashion sketching is all about exploring different ideas and concepts, and it's a great way to develop your own unique style as a designer.
