Life of a Fashion Design Major: Fashion Classes: Foundation of Fashion Drawing

So, another class I took as a freshman was fashion drawing. I took it my spring semester. I loved this class, I'm an artist, so I was excited to finally have a class that was about art, but this class was not easy it require a lot of time and detailed work to get the grade.

Foundation of Fashion Drawing:

How to make flats, and what they were. How they are important to the industry.

If you ask me, I loved making flats. They were very detailed and they had to be perfect. So, it was very time consuming.

We also did face studies

Alot of people struggle doing 3/4 views, but I didnt understand why.
I loved drawing a face from picture there's no way for it to look bad, if you draw it right.

How to make fashion figure, going by the ten heads scale. How to make them proportionate.

We learned front, profile, 3/4, and back views.
For the most part we use reference picture to make the figures and we did a lot of live model drawing to get different poses.

How to marker flats, and marker figure.

This was the hardest thing to do, marking was a pain because you didn't want to make it look streaky.

There was a lot of project and they just kept getting harder as they progressed through the semester.

I have a lot of the project we did, so I can show some examples.

These are flats. This was our first project.

Our second project was to make figures, the figure below was in project 3, but if you take away the face, hair, hands, shoes, and shading that was everything we did in project 2 a plain figure.
Project three, we started to put faces and detail on the figure.

Also, in our project 3 we did putting clothes on a figure and shading with marker and the girl had to be walking to show movement. I'm really proud of the figure I made since it was my first time.
We did I first face studies and I worked hard on it and it came out perfect in till, I had to marker it and I hated how it came out.

Lastly we had to do contour drawing, it where we drew from a live model with out picking up the pencil, and everything had to connect.

Last Project we did was project 4, we put all of what we learned together. We made flats, and put them on the body to show how they flowed. The class wanted to be ambitious and wanted to use different colored markers. It made it colorful, but a lot harder, because the darker marker were hard to work with. I had to do an all nighter on this project.
