‘’ Drawing is essentially a
technique in which images are depicted on a surface by making lines, though
drawings can also contain tonal areas, washes and other non-linear marks ‘’
Drawing often include graphite pencils, pen and ink, various kinds of paints, inked brushes, coloured pencils, crayons, charcoal, chalk, pastels, erasers, markers, but drawing can be made with a combination of paint and any other wet or dry media.
Amy Silman: Drawing in the continuous present
- Everyone is a drawer, from a young age everyone draws, doodles in their books, diagrams on napkins, little drawings of hair dos or girls’ profiles, and even though people don’t make drawing or paintings everyone creates art in their own way and at some aged people just stop drawing and say that they can not draw, however everyone has done this at. Some point in their lives.

Fashion Drawing
Drawing in fashion can vary in style and the amount of detail a designer will draw. Fashion drawing are the proposal of the design. A flat drawing is usually used to outline the shape and the silhouette of the garment. Fashion drawing can also be dimensional drawn of figures adding extra details with texture, shading, and adding movement lines to the fabric.
In one of the sessions we have explored the different techniques of drawing and the different materials used for mark making. Everything around us s a drawing, which people have used different materials to create the pieces. Looking at different artists and their techniques of drawing and creating drawings of paintings.
During this session I have fond very interesting that calling any mark making a ‘drawing’. As for me drawing is an image purposely drawn using a pencil or a pen. Using other materials such as paints or digital I would call paintings and illustrations and found quite interesting the different aspect of drawing. However, I did find this session very interesting to see all the different techniques and materials used to create drawing.
Also, fashion drawing is quite different to the traditional mark making. Drawing is a creative way to express yourself and fashion drawing is more technical and showing the detailing, stitch lines on the garment. It’s usually a sketch and later it becomes a flat drawing or an illustration to showcase the design of the garment.
Creating drawing a blind folded eyes and drawing using chalk coal to create patterns. See the images below for the outcomes of this activity. By drawing with eyes closed it creates interesting patterns and textures. As a student of fashion design this reminded me of a patterned fabric that could be used to create an interesting and unique garment. In fashion the drawing could be developed further to by digitising the drawing and manipulate the marks to create interesting and unique pattern design that could be printed onto a fabric to produce a garment with this design. By creating drawings and making them into the patterns none of the designs would look the same it would be a one and only design like this which could a unique selling point for the business. This technique is an easy way to create your own pattern for a garment rather than using a store-bought fabric with a basic pattern on it. Using different materials such as markers, pencils, paint will affect the outcome, which could create an interesting design.
Second activity was mark making using a pen and wind. Created a pen holder to allow the pen to swing in the wind/ fan air to create drawing. With this technique the drawer has no control over the design or layout of the artwork. It creates abstract drawing as a fashion student I think of how I could cooperate this drawing into my designs, this technique creates unique drawing which would be very interesting to create a pattern for clothing. It would be an interesting outcome by applying different colours and adjusting the air flow to make the marks differ and add colour the design. Also, this could be transferred to a garment by using different materials rather the creating a fabric with a print on. The design could be embroidered using the embroidery machine or using a hand stitch method which would create even more abstract outcome as hand stitching is never as accurate as a machine.
- A unique artist Christo’s work with fabric to create his art. None of the work piece is the same. I wanted to focus on Christo’s: wrapped walkways. Covering a total of 2.8 miles walkway with a golden nylon in Kansas City's Loose Park. Nylon morphs and molds with each step, touch, and breeze. By encouraging visitors of the park to interact with the piece, the artists make them aware of their own movements. The inclusivity of the art is rare and notable as we watch people of all ages walk, run and skate over Christo’s fabric. Though Christo provided the canvas, it feels as though those who involve themselves with the piece are contributing artists.
