Ever wanted to try out a simple fashion illustration in the style of A Thing Created? That’s the idea of my Fashion Illustration School post series! Today, I’m going to show you in simple visual steps how I illustrate my fashion faces, along with a few personal tips sprinkled in! Get illustrating folks!
*TIP: Skeletal Structure: Creepy? Maybe. But keeping the skeletal structure underneath the face in mind will help you immensely! You don’t have to be a super-duper serious artist and memorize every bone structure! Just take a minute and examine the bone structure – or look at yourself in the mirror and feel just where that cheekbone juts out, just where the hinge of the jaw starts, where the eye sockets are set in the face.
Th eyes line up with the top of the ears, the mouth, with the bottom of the ears.
The eyes are indicated with an upper lash line, and are almond shaped, starting lower at the center of the face and elevating higher towards the outside.
*TIP: Think like a hairstylist! You want some volume at the crown, but stay closer to the scalp near the top of the head, and create more volume in the midsections of the hair.
