Grab your brush and ink as I walk you through how to draw a fashion illustration with brush and ink!

 This is what you will need:

{Materials}
Mixed media Paper
No. 3 round Kolinsky brush
Yasutomo Ultra Black Chinese Ink
No. 2H Pencil (optional)

Kneaded Eraser (optional)

•First, find an image as a point of reference. Prior to sketching, study it well. Let your eyes follow the perimeter of the figure and dress.

•Determine the point where the piece is lighted and where the shadows fall. Also determine which detail is made more prominent by the light or disappears by being directly lit.

•I don`t do pre-form drawings, but this is also that comes with years of practice. Use your 2H pencil and draw light lines. This will help you determine how to translate the image in its simplest terms-lines! Mark with your pencil where the shadows will go.

•Keep your brush strokes loose but precise. Know where the details are so you can draw the with some degree of precision. Perfection is not the goal, but a flowing drawing that is visually interesting.
