Do you have what it takes to be a fashion illustrator?

Fashion Illustration is the art of communicating fashion ideas in a visual form that originates with illustration, drawing and painting.

It is also known as Fashion sketching. It is mainly used by fashion designers to brainstorm their ideas on paper or computer, using digital software

A designer starts with an inspiration and brainstorm ideas to rough sketches on a sketchbook. These rough sketches are then transferred to croquis and rendered to a fashion sketch applying the texture, color, pattern and details with the help of art materials.


Fashion illustration helps to preview and visualize designers thoughts and make decisions before going to actual clothing to reduce any wastage.

Do you love to draw fashion sketches without necessarily sitting on a sewing machine to produce your work?

Well you don't have to worry.
Why? Because you can get a job as a creative director for a fashion house where you have to design their collections and get paid for it.

So if sewing isn't your thing, don't sweat it. Stick to what you have a flair for. Put those lovely designs on paper and go make some money.

STRAIGHT STITCHES

A straight stitch is the most common stitch in sewing. It is a simple way to connect two pieces of fabric. A very loose straight stitch can be used to gather fabric. The tighter the straight stitch, the more secure the connection of the fabric will be.


Basting /tacking stitch is used to temporarily hold pieces of cloth or fabric together.
basting stitch can be removed after the permanent stitches has been completed.

To Sew a basting stitch use about half inch stitch with equal length of spaces in between.
