Essential Fashion Illustration: Color and Medium

Ribbed Jersey with Open Neck

Several layers of each color

are applied to create

volumes. For the more

intense shading, a darker

violet is used. The furry effect

is achieved by stippling with

a marker, and the lines of

the ribbing are marked with

a black fine-tip marker.

The entire figure is outlined

with a black fine-tip marker

(02). The jersey outline is

marked with a wobbly line

to simulate the furry texture

of the jersey. The buckle

and the button holes

of the belt are drawn

and the creases are added.

The silhouette of the body

is drawn, standing up and

leaning over one of the hips.

The basic forms and volumes

of the skirt are drawn over

the figure in pencil. No

detail is drawn, just the

different layers and cuts

of the material.

The skirt is drawn over the

basic figure, marking the

movements and undulations

of the fabric. The pleats in

this fine material produce

many folds and creases,

which should be marked in

detail. The lines previously

drawn are erased.

Skirt with Pleated Ruffles

With a medium-tip marker,

a first layer of each color

is applied. In this case,

black and crimson have been

chosen. Color is applied

evenly but while spaces

are left to mark the lights and

divisions.

Several layers of the same

color are applied with the

marker to achieve darker

tones and thus create the

corresponding shading.

Finally the edges and folds

are outlined with a black

fine-tip marker (02).

The silhouette of the figure

is drawn with a light pencil

(HB or less) and the shape

of the trousers is drawn

on top of this. Certain

constructive details are drawn,

like the cut of the fabric and

the waistband of the belt

and the feet, as well as the

cord for adjusting the trousers.

Still with the pencil, the

figure is better defined.

The pockets and their zips

are drawn, the creases are

marked, and detail is drawn

on the lower part of the

trousers. Next, a first layer

is applied with a marker,

leaving spaces of white for

the light.

Sports Trousers

To create the shading of

the creases, several layers

of color are applied to the

base color of the trousers.

The upper and lower section

is given more color, which is

where the creases are most

concentrated, leaving the

central area clearer. The

details are marked with

a fine-tip marker.
