Today I researched on the internet to find online tutorial on drawing fashion illustrations. I found some videos that I found useful in showing how a proportioned female body can be drawn roughly. And then I also found articles in detailing of drawing faces, this include the shape of eyes and lips. The websites i used as resources are:
- http://www.fashion-templates.com/about/faces_hands_legs
- http://www.creativeshake.com/zoom.html?User_number=reniehanna&imagecount=1
This below is the example of fashion illustration in those websites that i very much take interest in. I tried learning by copying them first.
And then i tried to do my very first illustration in order to practice. What i did was i tried to copy a few illustration in those websites
above again and again. I used guidelines and focused on how a human body is naturally positioned, in any pose it is in. After doing it several times, it was still a bit hard and i was not very successful in making it look attractive. But i kept practicing and then i started adding shadings to make the lines look stronger, and to highlight some areas.
In the end when i was finished, I showed it to my Mom. She is a plastic surgeon and is used to draw female body parts in perfect proportion. She then explained and pointed out the mistakes i had in my drawings, e.g. the range between the mouth and nose is wrong. I then learned from her that the way it is supposed to be is:
-the range from chin to lip supposed to be 1/3 of the face
-the range from nose to eyebrows supposed to be 1/3 of the face
-the other 1/3 part is the forehead.
I learned a lot from my intensive researched references, I spent 2 hours in researching and from my mother's advice.
