Heyhey,

you ever saw a fashion-illustration, maybe even of a famous fashion designer? Noticed how they make their own proportions and you cant guess what the clothing being drawn really looks like? well fashion illustrations are more to give you a feeling, so the more art-y part of fashion drawings. The fun is you can do pretty much whatever you like. I am going to show you 2 different ways, but the opportunities are endless. So I thought of hosting a little give-away, I will tell you more about it tomorrow. So be sure to come back.

so for the first idea you need another picture of yourself or someone, but this time only half the size of your paper

cut at the places you wanna add length later (for example if you wanna show of things on pants and sleeves, make them longer)

just had to take a picture of this, me as a greek statue 😉

place on the paper, the way you want, dont be to careful to proportion, later I thought I could have made it more extrem

glue the parts on and connect with a marker

finished, I thought it doesnt even look as extrem as I thought it would

well of course, hands dont need to have that form or anything else, here I replaced head, hands and feet with hearts

or spirals or whatever you have in mind

for the other idea you need the same picture twice, in a smaller and a bigger version, cut into trips they way you want

and mix them up, playing around with proportions

I drew the final version on, of course you could also use glue again

connect the lines

after I finished the lines, I thought she looked a little cheap, so I made butt and chest a little smaller:

with the big head and feet she still has something child like somehow…

So play a little around and lets see what you come up with!

keep sewing and smiling
