I based this piece off of another photo my friend Jacob Zimmer took.  In some of my earlier attempts in this style I attempted to take some shortcuts either by creating very smooth lines or by limiting the amount of detail I used.  In this piece I decided to include as much detail as possible but at the same time, use some really messy lines and a limited color palette.

Fashion sketching is an important step in all phases of garment creation.  It serves as a roadmap for fabric and color selection as well as the actual construction of the garment.  For the most part, fashion sketches are done by hand by talented artists and designers but many designers also use Adobe Illustrator to refine their sketches.  This sketch was my second attempt at refining a hand drawn sketch.
