Theme Ideas for Fashion Illustrations:

Picture




Once students have gained an understanding of drawing the figure in proportion, you can begin to assign various themes and challenges.  The inspirations for them can come from everywhere in life.  I have used themes such as:


  •          Athletic outfit (male or female)
  •          Futuristic
  •          Based on a fairy tale or children’s story
  •          A red carpet outfit for your favorite celebrity
  •          Animal influence (i.e. peacock, butterfly, etc.)
  •          Inspired by an artist, famous painting or work of art  (see example on Deviant Art here)
  •          You and your dream date going to the prom
  •          Based on yourself
  •          Professional career clothing
  •          Birthday Party
  •          Picnic In The Park
  •          On The Catwalk
