clothes and accessories together! We pick outfits every
day based on where we’re going, who we’re meeting,
what the weather’s like, and how we want to look. As a
form of self expression, fashion gives people around us
a little peek into what we’re all about. It can say that
we’re classy, unique, modern, laid-back, sporty, or a mixture of a few things. The
world of fashion is also constantly changing, giving us new collections and trends
every season to pick and choose from.
In this book, we’ve picked forty-five different types of clothing and accessories
ranging from flats to ponchos to cocktail dresses. We’ve even got a few items for
the men, as well as traditional clothes from Europe and Asia. We’ve come up with
twenty different ways that each of these items can be drawn—can you come up
with some of your own?
You can start out by trying to copy some of the items I’ve already drawn. Pick
your favorite on each page or combine different items to make an outfit that you
would wear. You can even pretend that you are a fashion editor or personal shopper
and pick out a collection of different items that you want to group together.

These drawings are all made up of a combination of lines, shapes, and patterns.
Many fashion items are inspired by basic shapes, so look for squares, circles, and
triangles to help break down each object. Then consider the edges—should you
use a straight line, curved line, or a squiggly one? Draw the big shapes and lines

first, and then add in the smaller details. If
you have tracing paper, you can trace the
drawings directly, but don’t worry about
getting them exactly the same.
When you think you’ve gotten the hang
of it, try drawing your own fashion items and
accessories. Think about what you’ve got in
your own closet or that new bag you’ve got
your eye on. Or be a fashion designer and come up with your own styles. How many
ways can you draw a little black dress or a light, fall coat? What would your own
summer collection of sandals and heels look like?
Try to start out with a pencil and eraser so that you’re not afraid of making
mistakes. When you feel more comfortable with drawing, explore by using different
types of tools—pens, colored pencils, markers, or even paints. Color in the
existing drawings and then color in your own drawings. If you are feeling especially
adventurous, you can cut out paper shapes and paste them onto the blank pages.
It’s always fun to try as many things as possible to decide what you like the best.
Don’t forget to show your friends and family when you’re done. Maybe you’ll
inspire them to make their own drawings of their favorite fashions!
