fashion figures

If I want to get better at my fashion illustrations then I need to do some research to help my drawings improve..
Designers use fashion figure drawings to express their ideas on paper. Generally, each designer has a signature fashion figure they use over and over. This figure is generally lanky, with extremely long body and thin limbs.
I found this technique quite helpful..

there were other techniques and some inspirational drawings aswell..

Even though these are nice and perfect and all..
I like my drawings to have a difference to them.I think this started when I realised my weakness is drawing perfectly straight focused lines,and I work a lot better sketching,mostly squiggly lines.Drawings that are more abstract and fine art rather than perfectly thin shaped bodies..4

Antonio Lopez
Antonio Lopez is the Picasso of fashion illustration. He captured the pulse of style from the 60s to the 80s, and is still revered as the most inspiring illustrator by today’s practitioners. He worked with a variety of materials including pencil, pen and ink, charcoal, watercolor and polaroid film. His work appeared frequently in Vogue, Harper’s bazzar, Elle.
