Stages of work

Actually, it is not very difficult to depict clothes when there is an opportunity to draw it from nature. In this case, you can feel and examine every detail of the model.

The situation is more complicated if the dress is not at hand. You have to use the Internet to find the necessary clothes. It is best if you can examine and study the model from different angles.

Getting started, remember that absolutely all objects( animals, furniture, clothing, phenomena) are represented using the simplest geometric figures:

• squares;
• circles;
• triangles.

These shapes help create the necessary shape that the artist sees or represents. For example, when depicting a large house, the artist uses a lot of rectangular and square figures, on which he expands the general picture, thereby simplifying the work. This principle should be followed and creating a design of dresses.

Drawings in pencil are created in stages:

• First you need to create sketches. It is better to do them not with large strokes, as thick lines will be very difficult to wipe, from which the overall appearance of the drawing may suffer.
• Basic work. First of all, you need to mark out the paper. This stage will help to see where the future drawing will be placed.

Important! Dividing the sheet into two parts, each of them can depict a different foreshortening of one dress or two completely different models.

• Image of the model outline. It consists of a small number of delicate thin lines.
• Work on the details of the model. Having on the sheet of paper the contours of the dress, the details of the upper part of the model are drawn, and then the lower part.

Important! If the dress is rather open top, do not make a skirt too short, otherwise - clothes will look vulgar.

• Necessary lines are gently wiped off, which helped to represent the thing.
• Work on decorative elements - bows, flowers, train, belt, etc.
• Painting of the drawn model.

This is a general, not detailed, diagram of the design of dresses. Drawings can be made for any product, using some features for each kind.
