Switching gears. Again. It's so worthwhile that I change my game while I'm still in the studio. Took a bit to get back into Fashion Sketches for an upcoming Wedding.
I feel good with tonight's exercise. I used a random photo that I found online. Quickly brought me up to snuff. I wouldn't want to go through this sort of confusion when I'm At the Event ~
My first attempt was a total bomb. But it made me laugh. Am I 10 years old?
2nd attempt here ~ ooops. I didn't leave enough room for the hair. In this particular case, the Model had tall hair:
Oh-oh. What sort of expression is This? And what happened to the nose???
My 4th attempt here ~ still a stiff drawing style. Okay, but I was not happy to be drawing this way. So I threw in the towel when I egads ~ how did I mess up the groom's sleeve like that??
I decided that I should practice an Individual Fashion Sketch before I get into Couples Fashion Sketches. Yes of course. First just make a decent fashion sketch.
Well..... okay..... but I don't like it. If I'm not liking my picture, I would feel awful to be handing it to people at an Event:
Okay! I made real progress here with this last one I drew tonight. I am There!
I remembered that I'm here to draw the FASHION. Not the Caricature! So I predrew some simple proportion indicators, making sure to leave enough room for that head and hair, but then I DREW THE FASHION FIRST. And added the head/hair afterwards. Like the opposite of what I do when I'm hired to draw Caricatures. With my Caricatures, it's usually just about the Face. If there's any indication of body/clothes, that's an afterthought. But with FASHION SKETCHES, it's about the Fashion. Yes I usually indicate a Face along with the Fashion Sketch, but the Face is the afterthought.
I will feel fine for drawing at the Wedding. I still have several Weeks to get in the groove.
I just wish I remembered to draw the veil ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
