Not only will they be more agreeable to use and work with, they will also last longer. Recommendation: Always privilege quality materials. Available in spray, the fixative will stabilize your drawings and is necessary if you’re working with charcoal or pastels.Īn alternative solution is to use hairspray, as many artists do. You will also need to know how to convey through hand-render the look and feel of such materials and textures as skin, hair, different types of fabric, metal, etc.Protect your sketches and drawings from the wear and tear of time with a fixative. In fashion sketching, it is essential to bring the clothing design into focus, and a life-like portrayal of the figure is usually unimportant. In this case, it is critical to be able to deliver the idea of the designed collection to the best advantage. The most important aspect of fashion sketching is to be able to capture a design idea in the best possible light. Hence a facial-portrayal of a human figure is usually not significant. For example, the total height of the human body in fashion sketching is 10, 11, or even 12 times the height of a human head as opposed to real-life proportions of only 7.5 to 8 heights of a human head. More often than not, body proportions are elongated in fashion sketching. You should know how to stylize figures in your drawings. Clearly, there is a number of advantages in using 3D and computer-generated imagery, I used it myself a lot back in the days, but let us not lose the command of our hands and the link between the brain and the heart that hand drawing fosters.įor this type of sketching, it is crucial to have a good understanding of human proportions (face and body). With that in mind, ask yourself, is it better to render or to hand-render to work or to create? They say that 3D Max was invented by those who can not draw. The words we use, especially verbs, bear deep meaning. Just observe that we no longer “create” on paper but “work” on a computer, in Photoshop, Word, or AutoCAD. Do you remember what we were told as children: “The best present is the one that is made by hands”. It seems that we have forgotten the meaning of “handmade”, handcrafted, which is precious because in creating it, you include a piece of your heart, love, and memories. We do not send handwritten letters and cards anymore – the epistolary genre is almost gone for good – and even our thoughts and ideas we capture in “Notes” on our iPhones. ![]() Take a look at what is happening right now in our creative lives: we rarely, if ever, write with a pen, and mostly type on a computer, iPad or iPhone. In the old days, artists were earning their bread by, literally, their hands, and now they are desperately wishing to go back in time when ideas were transferred through hand drawing, which is far more natural and organic way of doing it. The reason why sketching became so popular today among designers of all kinds not only in Russia, Europe, the USA, Asia, and the rest of the world is that artists nowadays tend to be overwhelmed by computer programs such as CAD, Revit, Sketchup, 3D Max, and Maya. Once you have mastered the construction technique, you will develop the ability to produce quick freehand sketches of interiors. This is followed by freehand rendering, which may take 1-2 hours, and for this stage, we will be using markers. The type of sketching I teach my students via online courses, Instagram Lives, and YouTube tutorials is a little different, it’s an interior design sketching, and we usually start by creating a precise measured perspective with the help of scale rulers. In this case, all sketches are made with great speed and confidence. Obviously, it was created by industrial designers a good example is car sketching. Industrial Design sketching: probably the most known and popular branch of sketching. It helps designers during the first stages of the creation of their collections and helps to introduce changes. It is used mainly for illustrations or magazines, e.g., for brand promotion. It includes “cafe sketching” as well.įashion sketching: people, fashion-looks, and accessories. It can be made both in the open air (“pleinair” in French) and working from your memory – recollections of your trip when you are back at home, or using photos and creating compositions out of them. Travel sketching (or sometimes city or urban sketching): expressive, energetic, and usually speedy drawings of architectural details, city views, restaurants, etc. Basically, it is about making a quick drawing, a study, which helps you to represent a design idea. ![]()
