How to create a hireable fashion portfolio

Okay so...Lesson #1 - If you want to be a fashion designer it would help if you can draw...Now I can't give you an extensive fashion course lesson...That is what school is for, but I can give you a helpful tip to get your drawing lines under control...All the teachers in all the world can teach you the technical basics of drawing a fashion figure or fashion presentation. But what about the non-technical stuff...How do you actually get your hand to do what your eyes and mind want. Well, it beats the hell out of me...But, here is a trick that can help to make those body parts work harmoniously. Get a lined piece of paper and start to draw down the lines, and do it rather quickly. Don't bother to erase JUST DRAW!!! After some time and 10 packs of lined paper later your lines will seem to be automatically straight.

Congratulations you now have full artistic mobility of your hand!!!   OR DO YOU???

As a fashion designer it is important to build up your knowledge of measurements just by looking at something....which means it is time to get rid of the lined paper! Get a blank peice of paper and do the same thing, draw parallel lines...But not just any parallel lines. With some time and study you should know how far 1/8" LOOKS...same goes for 1/4" and 1/2" and so on...NOW DRAW THEM!!! draw about 10 parallel lines 1/8" apart, then 1/4" etc...Then go and get a ruler and see how off you were!

Don't get discouraged if you think you suck...We all do at first.

THIS TIP WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO YOU IF IT WASN'T GIVEN TO ME BY MY DEAR PAL...MARIA LEE!! THANKS LOVE!
