How to illustrate fabrics in fashion sketch- LACE and COTTON / LINEN Tutorial

[ilatelia555]

unlike mine, those are absolutely beautiful:-)

[PhenomenalAbby]

i wish i can draw and paint like you!..im going to start making fashion sketches soon :)

[Mametiganabijem]

Maybe it's a stupid question...But can normal print paper be straightened up when waved by water? I mean,I did some collection sketches for school on that one,but I don't have time to do them again. Any advice? Thank you!

[elidada84]

@Mametiganabijem Keep the drawing in or under a thick heavy book (on a flat surface) for few days? Another way is to put the paper in between a piece of fabric/ cloth, a thin cotton fabric without prints or pattern would be best I think. Put it on a flat surface and iron it. Make sure the iron isn't too hot. I hope it will work on your drawing.

[SaeemhaA]

I wish i had the patience....x

[beckstahful]

I was introduced(by myself) to these videos since only yesterday.. and ever since, my art skills have just- woww.. improved and made a difference. fabulous ;}

[L3diaJ]

[macbeth6699]

[leanneyu12]

I'm so freakin' jealous..

[noerobbins24]

That is one "alcoholic" video. =p

[hottenrose]

[hottenrose]

[xXSweetJehzXx16]

Seriously ...what an awesome design you've got

[lmfao03]

I really admire your work. You are very talented ! :)



[ashash365]

I'm not into fashion but I would really love to try using different cloths in my portraits, so thank you ^^

[vivian050491]

thanks for helping me :)

[Vane22april]

Omg, it's wonderful! Compliments!

[TopazGoldStar]

@Vane22april Omg, I wanted to say that too.

[TheOsnapitzKat]

if you mute it theres this weird silence. you have to listen to this with music

[ZanessaandJoenessa]

this is so good.

I wish i could draw. idk how to draw sketches

but i have my designs planned out in my head.

[TheMila9991]

How?

It's fantastic.!

[x3Heroiinex3]

what kind of paper do you use for that ?

when I try to peint in print paper it spoils it

thank you and sorry about my bad english

[elidada84]

@x3Heroiinex3 I used thicker paper 200 gsm I think. If you work with fluids you cannot paint on regular print paper which is only 80 gsm- it's too thin and getting wet it will wave. Look for heavier paper 250-300 gsm or water color paper

[boubou1717]

@x3Heroiinex3 Utilise du papier canson :)

[ExistancesBold]

You should do like a cinderella dress with black and white and more lace strapless to show off her shoulders more... my dream wedding dress

[furydesigner]

can you show me how to draw some of the John Galliano haute couture?

its too complicated for me but maybe you would be able to do it

[tigerlover3456]

Really good work keep it up :]

How many years of classes did you take?

[adenatatsumi]

I'm glad I found your channel. I'm just into fashion and your videos help me improve my techniques =)

[elidada84]

@adenatatsumi I'm glad I could help

[iLLyNatalia1]

[elidada84]

@iLLyNatalia1 Yes, but please only for private use. If you want to embed my videos to your websites or blogs you must contact me first and let me take a look at your website or blog, then credit me as owner of the video in your description by posting a link or other kind of reference to my channel

[shanedawson1231fan]

@elidada84 hey i want to do designing/sketching as a proffession but i have to have a back-up so im going to study architecture, but i am just curious if you studied architecture how did you learn all this fashion stuff your really amazing and did't you need to go to a fashion arts college for this ?

[elidada84]

@shanedawson1231fan I'm crazy about fashion, especially about fashion history. In history of architecture I learnt a lot about design, culture and philosophy of each period. Before I make a tutorial I research on the topic very carefully in books on fashion history, novels, historical movies, period dramas and of course, I use the web, so I can give you a solid information within few minutes. My style of drawing developed through practicing in drawing class, but mainly at home.

[9biby4]

What king of watercolors do you use...Your drawings are incredible!! :)

[PainOfLov3]

Have you ever learn how to draw and paint? o.0

[jojhabib]

[aquamarina135]

[MsSMC23]

[SofiaPeschiaroli]

You are really good... I love the way you use watercolors! I usually use pencils. Where have you studied?

[elidada84]

@SofiaPeschiaroli I studied architecture in Germany

[shinecuzurhappy]

great video! i love puffy dresses. haha.

you should get a higher quality camera (not trying to say your camera is horrible, it's better than mine, but you make amazing videos and they deserve to be higher quality.)

[emperorny]

[blingaciousdesigns]

[315chu]

[elidada84]

@315chu Yes it is! If you take a look at my collection of fashion sketches video, you'll see there are more costumes from Titanic

[5yoris5]

WOW :)

[crazyaunti]

how many years did it take for you to be this good? im 14 and just wanted to know

[elidada84]

@crazyaunti I'm not sure if it's possible for me to say when it started and how long it took to reach this level.It's a process you'll make through the years of practice. I drew my whole life and I'm still changing and growing in my abilities. I think by practicing, beginning with simple media and advancing step by step, as soon as you feel confident with technique, proportion and shape, youl'll automaticlly accelerate the progress and get better shortly. Get the "sense",the rest is fine-tuning.

[innaroy1800]

I'm really having a hard time sketching laced dresses. :L

[BarbaraMParis]

BEAUTIFUL

[MsKmn3]

This design is so impressive for its intricacy and elegance. Thankyou so much for this vid on lace. This particular detail in clothing has always stumped me on how to render it. Keep up the good work.

[allthatcrysishuman]

[elidada84]

@allthatcrysishuman I don't know why, but a lot of people are blown away by this one design. Why is this so special?

[vernicegirl8987]

@elidada84 because that design is just like for experts. if ur not in the fashion bizzness, those ppl r REALLY missing out.

[kohls350]
