You love to draw and you also love fashion, so it simply makes a lot of sense that what is a hobby of yours is drawing fashion sketches. Even so, the thought has occurred to you that your fashion drawings may be of good enough quality to eventually become your own fashion line. What is the best way to tell if you fashion drawings are a marketable item?
The Elements of a Quality Fashion Drawing
A comprehensive fashion drawing should be quite a but more then simply a sketch. It would be best if it were as close to a work of art as you can realistically get it. To that end, it is crucial that you select vibrant, fashionable colors that highly reflect what you aspire your fashion drawing to represent.
There are two main manners in which successful fashion designers make their fashion drawings. In the first manner, the basic sketch is done in pencil, while the color is added with various colored pencils. In the second manner, black charcoal is used for the main design sketch, and other colors of charcoal are added to fill in the design.
Some fashion designers do not like the idea of making fashion drawings. Rather, they just do a basic sketch, and then create their piece on a manikin as they go. While this might work for accomplished fashion designers, remember that you are still a novice trying to make it into the fashion world, so don’t try that method just yet.
When it comes to detail in your fashion drawings, the more detailed, the better. If you are trying to market your design to a distributor, it really needs to have all of the details included, or at least a note below the drawing that indicates how the design should look. The last thing you want is for your design to be missing some of the important details!
Pay attention to the size of your drawing. If the drawing is too small, possible manufacturers might not look at it, and if it is too big, manufacturers might consider it a bit overwhelming. Thus, a good idea is to make the drawing an average size.
If you have any feeling that your drawing may not be up to expectations, then it would help you out to enroll in a few drawing classes prior to your attempting to market your designs, thus your drawings will in all likelihood reflect the look and impression that your are trying to attain. There will be a lot of hard work as well as patience, however after you get your first client you will find it will all be worth it.
