STEP 1: Start with Your Sketching Tools (The Foundation) Tools: - ✏️ HB Pencil – Light sketching - ✏️ 2B Pencil – Slightly darker sketch - Kneaded eraser – Soft corrections without tearing paper When to use: - Lightly sketch your fashion croquis (elongated 9–10 head proportion figure). - Map out pose, balance, and garment placement. - Keep lines loose and light — this is your planning stage. 👉 Think of this as your “blueprint” layer. 📏 STEP 2: Refine Structure & Proportion Tools: - Harder pencil (HB or mechanical pencil) - Ruler (for structured garments) - French curve (optional for smooth curves) When to use: - Sharpen facial placement. - Define shoulders, hips, and garment seams. - Structure jackets, tailored pants, or geometric details. 👉 This stage adds confidence to your lines. 🖋 STEP 3: Ink & Define (Optional but Powerful) Tools: - Micron pens (0.3–0.5 for detail, 0.8 for bold outlines) - Fine liner pens When to use: - Outline final garment shape. - Define pleats, topstitching, zippers. - Add contrast and bold fashion drama. ⚠️ Only ink when you’re confident in your sketch! 🎨 STEP 4: Add Color (Choose Your Medium) 🌈 Alcohol Markers (Copic-style) - Best for smooth, editorial finishes. - Great for bold runway looks. - Layer light → medium → dark for depth. 🎨 Colored Pencils - Perfect for texture (denim, fur, knitwear). - Great control for beginners. - Build color slowly in layers. 💧 Watercolor - Soft, dreamy, artistic vibes. - Apply light washes first. - Let dry before adding shadows. 👉 Choose your medium based on the mood: - Editorial glam → Markers - Soft romantic → Watercolor - Textured realism → Colored pencil ✨ STEP 5: Add Shadows & Dimension Tools: - Grey markers - Darker shade of garment color - White gel pen (for highlights) Where to shade: - Under arms - Under bust - Inside pleats - Under chin - Behind knees Light source awareness = professional look.
