So she may be no rendition of Karl Lagerfeld's legendary sketches, but I am pretty proud of my first amateur color sketch. I've been playing with sketching for a while, mostly with pencil and pen. I really want to get the right materials. This was drawn on plain white art paper with a regular #2 pencil and colored in with Crayola colored pencils. Somewhere in boxes in my parents house is a collection of Faber Castels that belong to me that I really long to get a hold of.
If you cannot tell this is an altered interpretation of the outfit I put together while fooling around on H&M's website. I like the mix of shades of blue with touches of teal, yellow and pink. Though they are not quite the shades I imagine because they got a bit blurred and weird when mixed up with the graphite of the pencil. Also the pants are supposed to be sheer with little shorts underneath, I think I made this clear.
More sketches to come later hopefully, and hopefully better suplies to be used. I do have a great array of art pencils (charcoals and Staedtler design pencils, but it's a matter of getting a hang of how to properly use them). Hopefully I will be taking a drawing class this summer. Fashion sketching is a far cry from architectural sketching, and yet they both have similar rules, aesthetics?
