TECHNICAL ILLUSTRATION

This week we have done a new workshop about technical drawing :) I was so excited as I LOVE drawing but this was quite different on what I did before. Technical drawing is used a lot in the costume industry and gives the exact idea of the design. It has to be symmetrical, or as much as possible, and communicate very clear what the designer wants for the costume. This drawings are normally given to other departments.  
Our teacher gave us some photos where we had to try and make a technical illustration out of them by interpreting them. There is a few techniques on how to do Fashion technical drawing but I sort of made my own. I started by doing a rough drawing on what the garment was just under the photo so I had an idea on what I was doing. Then divided the paper in half by drawing a very faint pencil line. I then divided them again in half and created a chart. I drew some dots following the outline and I tried to make them symmetrical. After that I connected the dots making lines on pencil. Then I fine lined the final outcome. This is how it turned and I think I looks surprisingly neat and professional and I definitely enjoyed this technique.
