Creating a realistic sketch of your idea will help you visualize the style more fully.

To help with your sketches, I have developed a sketch book, with figure templates (called 'croquis') that will make it much easier to draw your styles with proper proportion, and depict movement. It's overwhelming and you'll lose focus.īut all you have to do is sketch, sketch, sketch - keep trying different combinations until you find what you really like. There will be a lot of trial and error - some design elements work well together, some don't - and don't try to put ALL your favorite details into one garment. Then start putting those details together into a garment! Just start sketching! Browse through magazines, make a quick sketch when you see a celebrity wearing something you love, or make a note of a detail as you're watching a TV show or movie.
