If you want to have the ability to surpass others,

I will be able to practice to the extreme!

If you want to learn hand-painted clothing illustration, how should you start? If you want to draw clothes with unique style and full fashion sense, you must go through a lot of practice to reach the professional level. The so-called "professional skills" are more from the perfection of practice. Learning ancient costume painting should start from the study of human body, from the depiction of head to the treatment of details of hands and feet, and then to the outline of body proportion and different movements, such as inserting waist, twisting hips, standing, walking and sitting.

Only by practicing these basic skills to perfection can we better reflect the details and professional standards when designing clothes in the future. The premise of fashion illustration must be a lot of creativity and inspiration, so this premise must be the accumulation of a lot of fashion elements. Usually, you can collect more clothes from magazines or fashionable styles and clothes in the season to help you accumulate some creativity. Help yourself to painting equipment. It is best to choose an H-shaped hard pencil. This kind of pencil is light and easy to modify, and it won't dent the paper and is easy to color. In order to make your illustrations look professional, you need a good eraser and a thick paper.

If you don't have an H pencil, size 2 will do. Remember to write softly, not too hard. Never use a pen, either, because handwritten things can't be erased. Not to mention using coloring tools, markers, ink and the like to design clothes according to the outline. Design must be bold. You can start from copying and slowly start your own design. Elbows, shoulders, wrists, ankles and protruding parts should be wrinkled. Imagine the real wearing effect and try to present it to the model in the design illustration.

Design the pose of the illustration model. The posture chosen should best represent the design project. You can draw walking, sitting, bending or other postures. As a beginner, start with the most common posture, that is, the posture of the model standing or walking on the runway. This posture is the easiest to draw and can fully show the design. If you want to design a better work, you need to practice outline sketch a lot and lay a good foundation.

16 techniques let you make beautiful hand-drawn illustrations of wedding dresses! In order to better reflect the different styles of clothing painting and show the overall temperament and perfect effect of the wearer, human dynamics must be carefully considered before drawing.

1

When painting dresses and wedding dresses, choose a dynamic twist of the body to highlight the beauty of the curve; Only by choosing the appropriate human body dynamics can the design intention be accurately and completely displayed through the pose of the model!

2

Secondly, in wedding dress design and painting, we must distinguish between primary and secondary, mainly showing the wedding dress, so the characters must be represented by simple lines, and the wedding dress should pay attention to details.

three

Since it is a kind of fashion design, the performance of materials is very important. The wedding dress is mainly made of yarn, lace, diamonds and other materials, and the painting method is very important, which must reflect the difference of wedding dress materials.

Of course, if you want to skillfully draw different styles of fashion illustrations, you need to know all kinds of painting skills of clothing painting. The following is 16 drawing method ~

1

Light color method-mainly uses tick marks and simply applies colors to the main parts of fashion illustrations. In this coloring method, watercolor is used, so watercolor or aqua pink is often used.

You can choose pens, pencils, charcoal pens, writing brushes, markers and so on. This method is simple, easy to master and fast.

2

Graphic painting-a common fashion illustration skill, simple and easy to learn. It adopts the method of painting each color evenly, and the pigment mostly adopts gouache pigment or marker with certain hiding power.

There are two methods of flat coating: one is crochet flat coating, and the other is wireless flat coating (also called boneless flat coating). Cross-hair flat coating is a method of combining flat coating with lines, that is, on the periphery of color blocks, lines are used to outline and organize images, which is the most commonly used method of cross-hair flat coating. There are many kinds of scribing tools, and the color of scribing can also be changed as needed.

Wireless flat coating uses the relationship between color blocks (lightness, hue and purity) to produce the overall image feeling, and does not rely on lines to organize the image. Flat coating of crochet is easy to obtain decorative effect, and it can leave flying white appropriately according to needs, resulting in lightness. Decorations such as dots and lines can also be superimposed on the color blocks to enhance the decoration.

three

Spraying method-includes two methods: one is spraying method and the other is color spraying method.

Inkjet method is a drawing method based on ink-jet tools such as pens. Because the ink-jet tools draw fine and uniform colors, they can not only draw fashionable illustrations with realistic style, but also make the picture achieve a mysterious effect.

Color sprinkling is a way to sprinkle color on the screen. It uses brushes, sponges and other tools to smear and sprinkle colors where needed in the picture to achieve an irregular dot texture effect. This method can be used for texture and background processing of some dot fabrics in fashion illustrations.

four

Halo dyeing-Halo dyeing is a fashion illustration technique absorbed from China's meticulous painting technique.

Two brushes are used alternately, one is painted and the other is dipped in water, and the color is evenly dyed from deep to light. This technique can be used for figures in fashion illustrations, glossy fabrics and thin materials.

five

Skimming-this is a technique in Chinese painting and dyeing and weaving pattern design. After painting with a brush, put the pen tip aside to form an irregular flat line with intervals and lengths.

In this way, you can draw the long hair texture and silk of the skin.

six

Overlapping method-Add colors layer by layer to produce another color with different hue, lightness and purity. This effect, which is usually transparent or needs to be deepened, can be accomplished many times.

Color can be added three or four times or more. Generally speaking, it depends on the endurance of paper, the coverage of color and the effect to be expressed.

For example, when showing the effect of yarn, you can use the superposition method, from shallow to deep, layer by layer, and gradually smudge to produce a transparent effect.

seven

Clip-and-paste method-a fashion illustration technology, which uses fabrics, newspapers, colored paper and other materials that can be used for editing and collage to splice and paste according to the needs of the picture. It can be used as an indirect preview of the overall effect of fabric application.

This method is often used in fashion advertising, fashion trend prediction and other forms.

eight

Dye blocking method-using the incompatibility between oily pigments (oil pastels, crayons, oily markers, etc.). ) and water-based pigments (water pink, watercolor, water-based pencils, etc.). ), one pigment is used as the texture, and the other pigment is attached to it, thus causing the separation of the two pigments.

This method is mostly used for the treatment of light-colored fabrics with deep background, such as blue printed fabric, batik fabric and hollow fabric.

nine

Rubbing method-Rubbing method is to make cotton, sponge, cloth and other materials into a certain shape, and then smear them in the painting to form a certain texture effect.

You can also use paper or plastic materials to prepare a desired shape, and then knead it to form a special texture effect of the desired shape.

10

Transfer printing-Take the pattern on the transfer paper and transfer it to the painting with a scraper. The transferred pattern has the advantages of neatness and quickness, but it is limited by the types and sizes of transfer paper patterns. Multi-purpose transfer printing methods such as fashion prediction and business design.

1 1

Concave-convex method-using a certain external force, the parts to be processed in the drawing are knocked out and pressed out to produce a concave-convex effect, thus producing a three-dimensional effect.

For example, this method can be used in buttons, pockets, decorations and other parts that need to be highlighted. However, it should be noted that when using this method, you should not choose too many colors, and it is best to deal with the bumps on the color blocks, monochrome color blocks or even colorless ones. The area of concave and convex parts should not be too large. When using the concave-convex method, we should pay attention to the degree, as well as the elasticity and thickness of the paper, so as not to damage the picture.

12

Friction method-use dry pen, sponge, rubber, cloth and other rough materials with resistance, paint a little, rub the picture, or use tools such as sandpaper and toothbrush to rub the picture, resulting in a rather hazy and old trace effect. This method is called friction method.

Such as denim, leather and parts, fur and other common friction methods.

13

Flow color method-some fabric textures or some special texture effects are often used. This method uses the fluidity of pigment to achieve the purpose of expression.

Wet the part that needs to be treated with proper amount of water first, then put it into the color with a certain amount of water, carefully flip the picture and let the color flow until it is satisfactory. It will become a flowing picture effect after drying.

You can also make the flowing color texture of the pigment on the mirror and the glossy surface of water (oily pigment is needed) in advance, then cover it with drawing paper, print the flowing color into the painting, and finally edit it.

14

Wrinkling method-wrinkle the picture as required, and then paint it with color to produce a texture effect. This method is called wrinkling method. This method is used to express the texture effect of special fabrics and backgrounds.

15

Copy method-Copy method is a faster method. Using the existing data, make multiple copies, splicing, copying and splicing to achieve the desired effect.

When using this method, we should pay attention to the relationship between fashion and characters, as well as the relationship between screen size, expression form, style and material copyright.

16

Scraping method-this is a method of scraping the picture with some hard object, sharp object or knife to produce special effects. For example, when dealing with or expressing attacked fur, sharp objects are often used, and the fur texture can be scraped properly to show the fluffy and realistic fur.

Because scraping method is harmful to paper, when using this method, we should consider the depth of scraping and the texture and thickness of paper to avoid cutting paper.

If you can skillfully use these methods, are you afraid that you can't draw beautiful fashion renderings?
