In daily life, the audience will also pay attention to and collect the popular fashion elements. For example, many illustrators will collect a large number of popular expressions and colors when designing, and will also pay attention to people's popular makeup and fashion modeling, and take away fashion elements from these fashion aesthetics, transform them into graphic elements needed for fashion illustration design, and flexibly integrate them into fashion illustrations, thus truly designing excellent and unique artistic fashion illustrations. When creating, it is usually necessary to improve its ability to collect fashion elements and control the integration of popular colors into illustration design.
1. Collection of fashion elements
Fashion elements are widely used in commercial and artistic fields, leading all kinds of product design and artistic expressions. Fashion elements of clothing can be a silhouette, a collocation method, or even an accessory. For example, Marmurube, born in 1979, began to draw at an early age. She is one of the most famous illustrators in international fashion. Her works cover fashion magazines, advertisements, product design, packaging and publishing, and her works are characterized by strong fashion elements. I suggest you collect some fashion magazines, such as Vogue, Tatler, In Style, Marie Claire, Elle and so on. Understand the popular fashion elements and copy the costumes and collocation of the characters, thus enriching your creative materials.
2. Application of popular colors
Popular colors, clothing materials, styles and other elements constitute the beauty of clothing. For most groups, "popular color" is a term representing fashion, and it also shows the trend of fashion. It is a color that can change with the times and has the characteristics of fast popularity but short cycle.
Generally speaking, popular colors are not immutable. That is, color application is recognized, followed and imitated by the public at a certain stage, which makes it form a certain tendency, and then popular colors appear. It always evolves in a certain period of time. Therefore, the popular color is the popular weather vane. Mastering the rudder of popular colors can lead the trend. Through the fashion new product launch conferences of some famous clothing brands, we will find that a launch conference is specially designed every year to explain the popular colors. Usually, popular colors are not limited to a single color, but a color scheme with popular fashion style. Generally speaking, the basic color of clothing accounts for a relatively large proportion in clothing, and the popular color accounts for a relatively small proportion. Therefore, when making and publishing next year's popular colors, two or more popular colors are often matched with the basic colors of clothing, highlighting the current fashion trends on the basis of retaining their own uniqueness. If we can accurately predict the popular colors and integrate them into the main colors of illustrations, fashion illustrations will be sought after by the public and remembered by everyone.
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.
