Let me make it clear before somebody accuses me once again in copying other people's designs. I am not a fashion designer- I am an architect with a passion for drawing. Yes, all designs are either my interpretations of costumes from movies or were worn by celebrities on the red carpet .
I repeat, I am here not to show you my own ideas or to teach you how to DESIGN. The only thing I could show you is my drawing technique and how do I present fabrics, figures or colors in illustrations.

  • 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!

  • @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.

  • 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

  • @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

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

  • @adenatatsumi I'm glad I could help
