How to create a stylish fashion illustration?
STEP 1
Firstly search for some inspiration, a theme or a concept,something that you’d love to represent in your artwork.
STEP 2
Secondly, create the sketch on paper! I always take my sketchbook with me. If I have any idea or some inspiration I really like using pencil and paper and draw.
STEP 3
Then pass the sketch to Adobe Illustrator to create a linear illustration and to put the color base, then take the drawing to Photoshop to give it volume, emphasize the details and give effects. Sometimes during the final process in Photoshop I am thinking to new ideas and therefore colors may change some details.
STEP 4
Create the Color Palette. I usually get the colors from the images that I like the most, the concept depending on my mood and my inspiration. I like to choose the color combination of different images.
STEP 5
Give personality to the illustration! I like that each illustration represent a character, and expresses a story that everyone can interpret it as he wants.
STEP 6
An illustration is finished when its aesthetic, when it looks clean, when the details are polished, no matter it whether or not a fund, the most important thing is that when you zoom the final piece, to look stylish and clear.
