Sometimes when we draw a fashion illustration, moods can have an impressive impact in our drawings. I always use the eyes and the mouth to show simple emotions, because my style of drawing is quite simple.

We can portray moods using color or symbols, or using simple facial expressions. Sometimes, if we’re drawing whole bodies, just simple things like the position of the shoulders can show moods.

I’ve choose some images from fashion pictorials that express different moods. They might inspire you to draw your fashion illustrations.

We’ll talk about how to sketch people’s different moods, in a future article. Until then enjoy these photos and share with us your drawings which express moods.
