How to illustrate fabrics in fashion sketch: TAFFETA and SEQUINS Tutorial

[roopalkhare]

what pen do you use before coloring??

[sheribeckford]

Elidada! Immediately after you place the base grey in the jacket you begin drawing about 5 simple, black shapes on the model's left sleeve. With a few well-placed, abstract shapes you create the depth/shadow/highlight of the fabric as well as indicate the style.I know it's not random but it also can't be as difficult as it seems. I always get hung up here & ruin my drawings- how many folds/pleats/wrinkles and where to place them. Logic? Formula? (I know practice is key) Thanks for sharing!

You are so beautiful to watch and you choose the perfect music. What books do you have or where and how did you learn to draw.

you're so talented!!!! i love your work :)

[BlackMemory45]

I love it!

Hmm, if you are an architect, how do you know so many things about fabrics and how can you draw people so good?

[elidada84]

@BlackMemory45 If I have to be honest, I started with drawing people BEFORE I started to draw architecture :)))) I always have been better in drawing figures, portraits than in architectural perspectives. I know so much about it because I do my homework :)) I have a good collection of books, I do a lot of inquiries and in combination with my own experience, I can give you any information you may desire.

[elidada84]

@izzywounder Honestly , I begun drawing portraits and later on I developed in drawing the whole body. I must say I'm still having my difficulties with the human body's proportions.

[MartinaBuljat]

Your sketshes are amazing!!!!!!!!!:)

What do you use for coloring?

[elidada84]

Do you mean in this video? Here I used either watercolors or transparent inks.

[ReynaCiela]

amazing!! but i have a question. to ilustrate a white taffeta your shadows would be blacks or grays?

[elidada84]

I would say use both- grey and black. As you can see in this video I used the color black in three different tones- bright grey, dark grey and black. Fabrics have often softer shadows and deep dark ones. Important for rendering taffeta is to keep the contours/edges of the tones sharp- don't blend them.
