Fashion week is quite an exciting time for any fashion lover, especially for us who love to sketch runway looks. It’s just such a magical moment seeing all the wonderful design collections and elements, color stories and different inspiration behind the design. I also love the fact that you get a glimpse into the future when watching the runway show because than you can predict what styles, colors and materials will be in for the upcoming season.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in seeing how to easily illustrate fashion week runway looks, here is my way of doing it through a few simple steps.<\/p>\n

1. Selection<\/h2>\n

If I could, I would probably illustrate hundreds of runway looks but as I do have a life beside drawing, I usually pick a couple of favorite designers and choose 3-6 outfits from their show.<\/p>\n

The best place to find runway looks is Vogue<\/a> under the section that covers fashion week shows. On the cover page you will see the latest fashion week happening and highlights from that event. From the navigation bar,you can discover and choose a season or a designer you wish to illustrate.<\/p>\n

At this moment, the latest shows are for Resort 2019 so I went through my usual favorite designers and have chosen to illustrate Chanel Resort 2019 collection. Then I go through all the runway looks from this collection and choose 3-6 favorite outfits to illustrate.<\/p>\n

\"how<\/span><\/p>\n

This usually takes just a few minutes, depending on the number of runway looks in this collection. Sometimes I adore everything so it takes me a little bit longer to choose only a couple of my favorite outfits. <\/p>\n

2. Preparation<\/h2>\n

When I know what looks I want to illustrate, then the next step is to prepare materials for sketching. I always use my Fashionary<\/a> sketchbook for runway looks because it has convenient figure templates and it just fits my needs the best. You can check my review of this sketchbook here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\"how<\/span><\/p>\n

I write down the name of the designer and the season for collection I’m illustrating and outfit numbers that I will sketch, for example Look 5\/65 etc.<\/p>\n

After that I prepare markers and pencils I will use for this illustration. And here is the list of materials used for this particular one:<\/p>\n
