Introduction to Fashion Drawing and Illustration
Drawing and illustrating fashion are two different and complementary techniques which are very useful to the fashion designer, when ideas need to be expressed graphically or in order to add personal style to the design. Fashion companies are using illustration more and more in their catalogues as a creative way to provide information on the season´s trends. Drawing is also an essential tool in the creation of the garment, as it is the best way to express the volume and shapes on which we need to work.
