As an Artist with a background and degree in Fashion Design these are the brands/tools I always recommend to beginner or aspiring fashion illustrators or designers and the ones I use every day in my creative process of creating 1,000 Fashion Art Pape...
The only markers I use 🙌🏻
Copic Sketch Markers and Sets
One of the great thing about Copic sketch markers is you can refill them!
Copic Ink Refills
For fine lines and details. Love these for my PaperDolls.
Copic Multiliner Pens and Sets
Beautiful pencils and so many colors. I pair these with my Copics when rendering my PaperDolls.
Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils and Sets
1
If you are not familiar with this brand get to know asap! They have all the tools and books to make your fashion drawing and designing life easy! I have a huge collection of their products. Can’t recommend them enough.
Fashionary
A must when learning how to draw the 9 head fashion figure.
9 Heads: A Guide To Drawing Fashion
This paper is the best for fashion design and fashion illustration. I will also use this to sketch my PaperDolls.
Canson Pro-Layout Marker Paper
Love this paper for my PaperDolls. I can print on it and it’s great for rendering with Copic sketch markers.
Strathmore 400 Series Mixed Media Pads
For fine lines and details and come in a variety of sizes. Perfect for fashion design and illustration.
Sakura Pigma Micron Pens and Sets
These markers are on the more affordable side compared to Copics and are gorgeous and great for rendering fashion design looks and illustrations. You can use a water brush to blend and create a watercolor effect.
Tombow Dual Brush Pens and Sets
Finding the art portfolio to fit your needs is easy with the great selection at Blick. Depending on the size of your sketches make sure you pick one that can last and handle being carried around.
