Fashion Sketching Assignment--D&G

This is a sketch/pose for a croquis/template in the style of a D&G ad; she's sporty and sexy, with a little attitude.

Oh, that's nice! I predict that I will spend a couple hours on the computer trying to copy it. I'm hopeless at croquis drawing!
:iconthebocaj:
Haha don't! Don't copy mine--look at a picture and make your own. I did this one from a picture off Dior's website, from the "Summer" collection section of a long purple dress. Just scout for some fashion pictures, draw a gesture of one you like, and then gradually refine the edges.

I don't know if you'll benefit from this, but I always draw a line following the center of the body first, then the shoulder line and make a ribcage. If that's the right approximate shape at the first go, the pose tends to look good for me in the end, for some reason.
:iconthebocaj:
Oh, and just so you know, I wasn't saying "Don't copy mine" to be mean--I'm flattered. I just meant you shouldn't waste time trying to master someone else's style when you could be developing your own. Hopefully that didn't come across as sharp?

i wish i was as good at drawing figures as u!!!! i need help with my fashion illustrations. do u hav any tips that might help???
:iconthebocaj:
Well, observe and lots of practice. Check out the advice for Emily, right below this comment. Drawing from a reference (either picture or in-person) is a great start to understand what you want before just trying to do it all from scratch.

love it!!!!! Got any tips on how to draw bodies like that? body shapes are my downfall - legs, fingers, and arms mostly.Also, what media do you use? Especially to sketch. Like the brand and type of the pencil used?

Most of that is in my comments further down, but I use .7mm Mechanical Pencils...not particular to a brand. Just...Office Max or Target, whatever. haha

Oh, and don't worry too much about fingers--few fashion sketches have defined hands.
:iconzen-art-gallery:
THanks ;) Where can i learn the body like that?
