Then you can determine where the joints like knees, shoulders, elbows, and ankles will be with the circle’s templates.Īnd you can use the ovals templates to draw the head of your figures.Īll the ruler, and the circles + ovals templates are here to help you with that shaky hand. The ruler will help you create a preliminary line skeleton for your fashion figures before you draw the actual body and put garments on it. And I totally recommend them when you’re just starting out, although sometimes I still use them when I want a neat drawing. These tools are amazing for beginners they help you create clean + perfect lines + circles + ovals for your figures and faces. You can optionally use ruler and templates for circles and ovals And when you feel more confident in your drawing skills, then get a notebook and put all your designs, ideas, and illustrations there. Make sure you keep your best work in the binder. Then, start learning, draw, practice, make some mistakes, observe and improve, and tweak and repeat. Okay, you have your pencils, your eraser, and your sharpener ready, now you need a place where to put your ideas on.įor this, you can get a notebook, or you can even work with loose sheets of paper and then put them in a binder.Įspecially at the beginning that you’ll need to practice a lot, I’d recommend purchasing a pack of bond paper in letter size and a binder. One hole is to sharpen the pencils and the other one for the color pencils. And this one with two holes is just perfect. I love purchasing erasers in bulk because as with pencils l tend to lose them all the time 😛įor sharpeners, I prefer the metal ones. You don’t want your eraser to stain or damage your drawings, so make sure you pick the right eraser. When you buy your erasers, make sure they’re soft and kind with your work. I tend to lose my pencils all the time, so I don’t invest quite a lot in them, but I also love how they work. My pencils usually cost less and one buck, and the mechanical pencil I’m using cost no more than two bucks. If you want, you can try with both, a regular pencil and a mechanical pencil.
I also love working with mechanical pencils because the lines are finer than the pencil’s and I don’t need to use a sharpener, so I can draw and draw non-stop. And the B stands for soft black, and the bigger the number, the softer and darker the pencil. Remember the H in a pencil stands for Hard, and the bigger the number, the harder the pencil and the cleaner the lines. My favorite pencil to work with is 2H because it’s not too hard nor too soft, and it’s not as messy as those pencils on the B spectrum.
Okay, great, so let’s see the essential tools that you need to start learning and practicing your fashion drawing skills: essential tools for fashion drawing Pencil or mechanical pencil Of course, it would be easier and better, right?! Sometimes it’s easy to fall into the trap of “well, when I get these tools, or these pencils, or these colors, or the dream studio, then I’ll start learning, or I’ll begin creating my designs or my illustrations”, but wouldn’t it be easier to just get started with what you already have? Or wouldn’t it be better if you started to learn, practice, and create from now so your skills and talents grow with time? Actually, you only need a few things, and you can get started to learn and practice after one visit to the art supplies shop. To start learning fashion drawing, you don’t need any special, super expensive, out of the world tools.
