This class was so much fun…..ah heck, they are all so much fun!

That’s exactly why I’ve translated my 27 years teaching at one of the world’s top fashion design schools into a suite of courses where you can work with me directly.

Watch me in today’s video as we work together and I explain step by step how I build this plus size fashion model drawing.

GO GET YOUR ART SUPPLIES!

These fashion drawing techniques and methods apply, actually, to ANY model drawing. All models are built the same way on the page.

Also, How do we sketch a plus size fashion model or ANY size model who is rotated?

I mean, What if she’s not looking straight at us? It’s harder!

TACKLING THE FASHION FIGURE AT 3/4 ANGLE ROTATION

DON’T WORRY. I go into a lot of detail in this video about how to sketch a fashion model who is rotated 3/4 angle.

It’s the trickiest angle to draw, yet a very useful one because it gives us a feel for both the FRONT and the SIDE views of our fashion design at the same time.

This swimwear piece features ruching / shirring at the side seam, draping over the bust area, plus a halter top.

WHY DO WE SKETCH SWIMWEAR?

My fashion model drawing classes always begin with swimwear, lingerie and leotard.

Why?

So that you can really understand and get experience analyzing and drawing what the body does behind the clothes. It helps to understand THE BODY before we start drawing the clothes ON the body.
Understanding the body is an asset to any fashion designer or illustrator, since fashion is made to be WORN, the BODY is part of every outfit, garment, look or accessory!

Plus, most of my students are newbies who are BEGINNERS to DRAWING, not just to fashion drawing..

THE PLUS SIZE FASHION WORLD

A woman is a woman is a beautiful woman. And all women love to dress up and feel beautiful and self-expressed.

Her size is her size, depending on who she is, what her measurements are, to surround and flatter and serve her body.

And a woman’s body often changes MANY times over her lifetime!
Do her clothes address this?
Can they?
How?

PLUS SIZE FASHION MODEL DRAWING and design

I consider model drawing to be the foundation tool for all fashion design studies, because that was my personal experience and I love the way it played out.

That and sewing. Basic sewing exploration will go a long way, don’t put it off!

To focus even more deeply, one of my best-selling courses is devoted ENTIRELY TO MODEL DRAWING!!!
