heyhey,
so I did draw a simple dress onto the figurine I did on tuesday, this time I did the coloring with color pencils. I hope this is helpful for you, if you have any requests for clothing items you want to know how to draw, please let me know!
put a paper over your figurine and start drawing your dress
the shoulder seam appears almost straight and the fabric will fold up in elbow
I decided for cuffs on 3/4 sleeves, I wanted a wide skirt so I sketched it as if it was laying flat on the ground
but of course it would fall more like this
ย
but then there need to be folds in the hem, loose one, so it wont look pleatet
draw the rest of the figurine and put shoes on her, if you like, I am really bad at drawing shoes, so I often leave the girl bare feet
redraw the important line with a thin marker
if there will be visible stitching in your garment draw the stitches in, visible stitches make it look more sporty (sorry the pic is a little blurry)
maybe you notice at well, that this cuff cant be that way
so I fixed it up, I should have noticed before the drawing with the marker…
this time I used my faber castell color pencils
color it in and make it darker inside the fold and below the chest
looks like this! ๐ you can see I am still obsessing about colorful hair, my boring brown color is really getting on my nerves, but I am not sure how people at the job react if I go crazy, but I really miss it. If you look back on old pictures, you might notice I am used to change the hair-color quite a bit. ๐
well anyhow, I hope this was helpful for you, wishes for special garments for the next tutorial next week are most welcome!
keep sewing and smiling and drawing

I was really interested to see how the drawing of a garment develops. Thanks!
Glad you like it!
You make it look so easy!
Is that something good or bad?
Good for you, bad for me – my drawings look like they’ve been done by the vision impaired!
well, you have to know I started my first fashion drawings when I was about 9, and then I kept training, but in fashion school I still was one of the worse, and my teachers were never happy with me… ๐ so as much as I hate that phrase, it comes with practice. Would it be helpful if I made a movie instead of pictures? Maybe I can find some old drawings of mine.
No, I like the way you do it. Especially how you put the creases in the skirt, that’s the stuff I need to learn – so they don’t look wooden!
