By: Ms Clementine on Wednesday, August 28, 2013

My colleague and I were having lunch the other and we got really excited when we were discussing about wedding gown.

I guess after the years in various working industry, the wedding business has remain my favorite industry ever, particularly when it comes to wedding wear because the first thing I did when I got home that day was to whip out my sketch book and draw.

It has been one year since I left the wedding industry but I am still very passionate about it.

I've started sketching since 2008 by watching tutorials on Youtube and endless practice. And fashion illustration has turned into one of my favorite free time activity. But I came to realized that all my sketching have had the same posing and style.

So I told myself that I need to improve my sketching especially on the posing and color rendering. After 2 days of drawing and rendering my draft, here's the final illustration.

I have got to admit that this is my best illustration so far. And I love it so much, I've planned to print and frame it up.

So red and so much love!  

Fashion Illustration : Purple Ball Gown | No comments:

I have not been doing any sketches since I started working like three months ago. So now that I'm unemployed, I just have to grab hold of that pencils and start sketching again. 

Here's an evening gown illustration that I've done after months of hiatus.

A ball gown with black tulle wth mermaid silhouette on the inside. This piece was inspired by a client's wedding gown that I altered a few days ago. It was altered in such a hurry that I've totally forgotten to snap a photo of it. What a waste because her gown is so so beautiful!

By the way I totally dig the cute bob with purple highlight on the fringe. It reminded me of the hairstyle that I had three years ago.

Mushroom Head

Have a nice weekend!

Fashion Illustration : Green Evening Gown Sketched Half Asleep | 2 comments:

By: Ms Clementine on Friday, December 14, 2012

So I slept really late last night because I had three glasses of long blacks yesterday. I went to sleep at about 3.30am, not because I was sleepy, but because I got a shocked looking at my eyebags. It's crazy.

But then, my brain decides to wake my body up at 7.00am for no reason.

GREAT!

And then while I was sitting on my working desk, my right hand starting doodling something....

And voila.. this illustration is done!

The left hand looked so damn deformed!

Fashion Illustration : Red Chiffon Evening Gown | No comments:

By: Ms Clementine on Sunday, December 02, 2012

I was really excited when I was requested by a client to re-design her prom gown to change it from beautiful to OMG-THIS-IS-GORGEOUS.

So we had a discussion and we came up with a two ideas, one was to add a sash at the back to resemble a tail. Next, a better idea came by. And that was to change the sweetheart gown to ONE SHOULDER with a looooong sash flowing down from the shoulder. My client loved it! I love it too.

The next task was to search for fabric. And boy, it wasn't easy to find Silk Chiffon in the exact same red tone of the original gown. I was walking around town for two days looking for it. And I was so relieved when I found it in Gulati's, Kota Damansara! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

And here is the sketch that I've done for them so that they have a better picture of what I have in mind.

I gotta go and start work now. I can't wait to see the final results. Stay tuned!

This is a drawing that I did for my friend before she left for Spain. She told me she loves her wedding gown to have a "turtleneck" design. :D

Hope that she loves this.

I would love it if anyone reading this post could give me some comments on how I can improve my drawing. It will be very much appreciated. 

Fashion Illustration : Organza Evening Gown | No comments:

By: Ms Clementine on Wednesday, August 29, 2012

This gown is probably made of Silk Organza with a layer of Duchess Satin underneath. Dark Grey will probably be chosen as it's one of my favorite color now.

I really need to improve on drawing the ruffles, shading and coloring because it still look very amateurish in the above sketch. Practice makes perfect! Hopefully.. hehehe

By the way, the above gown is sketched based on the evening gown below.

from Pronovias 2012 Cocktail Gowns Collection

If only I have the figure to carry this gown.. *daydreams

One of my favorite thing to do during my free time is to do fashion sketching. I've learnt my drawing and editing through Youtube videos and I've been hooked since then.

Here is a wedding gown sketch that I prepared just now. A minimalist pleated wedding gown in Duchess Satin.. hmmm... 

Hope you like it!
