Nancy Riegelman: Fashion Drawing Sessions | SHADING
Drawing is the most powerful tool of fashion design. The more realistic we make our drawings the easier it is to understand our designs. Objects take their three-dimensional appearance from the patterns of shadow and light that appear on their surfaces so to make objects appear realistic in drawings we imitate those patterns—we employ shading. This video shows how to shade the figure and garments of different fits and silhouettes, different types of drape, folds, seams, a variety of pleats and, bringing it all together, how to shade the full fashion figure.
Featured: shading the body, tight-fitting garments, tailored garments, light source, loose-fitting garments, drape, folds, cascade fold, cowl, spiral drape, gathers, pleats, accordion pleats, knife pleats, angled drapes, and bringing it all together.
