If you are one of those people that enjoys designing, but has a miserable time attempting to draw people to put those clothes on (like myself), I would suggest you start using a croquis.
It is my understanding that croquis are templates of people that you can use to draw your brilliant clothing designs on. You can find very simple looking croquis, or croquis with attitudes and hair styles.
I went to a fashion seminar during the summer of my junior year of high school, and they attempted to teach me out to draw croquis-like figures. Let’s just say I didn’t get a design scholarship… my dresses and skirts always looked like they were on men. This is why I suggest using a croquis.
You will find a ton of FREE “I can finally draw people” croquis templates here.
Obvious tip: If you go out and get a pad of paper of tracing paper, you can make it look like you drew the people yourself!
Not so obvious tip: Try and brand your people. Do not let them look like the people in everyone else’s designs. When you look at famous designer’s sketches, you see these interesting characters that do not look like anyone else’s.

hi
Whoever you are, I wanna thank you for sharing this. You are such a great help. This is really the kind of tip that I have long been searching for. I am not actually studying fashion design but I really wanna learn how to draw fashion illustrations ’cause I really want to become a fashion designer. I hope that my parents would wholeheartedly support my passion. It is my ultimate goal in life aside from helping my family, my friends and relatives.
God bless you more and keep inspiring other people.
