Practising lingerie sketches
I haven’t had much time to sketch these past two weeks, but the other day I sat down and wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone a bit, so instead of my black and white pen drawings I decided to add colour. With all things new when you start my hands didn’t always correspond to what I wanted in my head. But I was quite pleased with the first attempts. I will have to invest in more colours and not just design from my head but with intended fabrics, but I’m hoping I get more time to perfect my style using pens.
The pens i’ve used for this drawing are: Staedtler pigment fineliner usually using the 0.3mm and Winsor & Newton Promarker.
If you are wanting to practise or start lingerie sketches, an e-book is available “How to sketch a bra and brief” which contains 12 shapes and examples of sketching.
Did you ever have an idea of wanting to sketch a bra or brief but your hand doesn’t match what you want your brain to do?
With twelve templates of bras and briefs, examples are given in a hand sketch format or a Computer Aided Drawing and also the template, giving you the chance to draw your designs directly onto the image.
*please note these are PDF drawings to print out not AI illustrations to change. If you are looking for AI files then you will find a lovely pair or two in the technical drawings page.
