The Secrets of Fashion Design
Sketching is an essential tool in fashion design, and it is used to record and communicate ideas. Sketches are used to convey the silhouette, color, texture, and details of a garment. There are many techniques used in fashion sketching, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
The most commonly used technique is the croquis, which is a rough sketch of the human form that is used as a template to sketch clothing designs. Another technique is the flat sketch, which is a more technical drawing that shows the garment as if it were laid flat. Flat sketches are used to communicate details such as seams, darts, and zippers.
Sketching can be done by hand or on a computer. Many designers use computer-aided design (CAD) software to create sketches, which allows for easy manipulation and editing. However, hand sketching is still an important skill for designers to have, as it allows for more creative freedom and spontaneity.
To become proficient in sketching, designers must practice regularly and develop their own unique style. They should also study the work of other designers to learn from their techniques and approaches. Additionally, designers should experiment with different tools and techniques to find what works best for them.
