I'm really horrible with sketching (although I'm a perfectionist and find everything I do to be atrocious while other people find it great), I just have trouble putting the gorgeous creations I have in my mind on paper, so I'll write out a description in the hopes that you all can visualize it.

Here goes:

Thin, black, almost see-through collared shirt, slim fitting with a black tie that has a very light luster to it, a relatively thin tie. It contrasts with the shirt because of the materials used. The shirt's fabric is dull while the fabric of the tie has a very subtle luster. On top of that there is a thin, black blazer...very slim fitting, but with a sort of loose look to it because of the form of the opening in the front of the jacket. The jacket is of a dull fabric (When I say dull I don't mean it's boring, I mean it doesn't reflect light) This outfit is both formal and slightly "shaggy",the "shagginess" comes from the look of the jacket, because the shirt and the tie have a sleeker, more formal look. Now, here comes something more original, I don't know if you all will like it, but if you visualize it the way I do you might - the jacket is tucked in. It has a different bottom than regular blazers to allow it to be tucked in so it doesn't look like you stuffed toilet paper in your pants. There is a belt, it is made of black nappa leather, it's sort of thin and lightly, very lightly, crinkled with a silver buckle. Apart from the crackling, it's pretty sleek and clean cut with a square, bold buckle, like that of an airplane seat. Then there is a slim cut pair of black pants in the same fabric as the jacket. The pants have a tight legs as well as slim fitting on the waist. Last, but certainly not least, a pair of black leather boots with a silver zip on the sides as well as straps on the top with small silver buckles on the side. Accesories include a thin, flat platinum ring (flat as in not rounded like most rings) and a pair of black aviator sunglasses. The sunglasses are very simple, they don't have the "nouveau riche" look that seeminly all celebrities now carry. They're just simple and elegant.

There you go, try and visualize.

[Galliano guy]

TheSweetest did you draw them on the computer? they look really good i like the ones on the second page

 

[TheSweetest]

Thanx everyone. I didn't draw them on the computer. I sketch them then trace them with a pen. I scanned all those last early this morning and put them on that site. They are old. I will change them out with newer ones later.

Sweetest, let me just say I looked at your web page and boy am I impressed!!! You must have 8 collections in there! That is really awesome.
You have the design and figures down perfectly with your own style which I think is great! You know the objective is let others as well as yourself see what will come out, and you do it beautifully. If you want to add color and texture I think pencils and marker are great for your sketching style. However since your sketches are clean like mine( before the color) it would be no problem for you put color and texture in with Adobe Illustrator which is what I use. It has a PC or Mac version. It really is simple, a few lessons and you will be off and running. But I love your illustrations already. If you have some with color in them I would love to see, so please post some!! You really do have
talent already. You head is full to the brim I can see! Keep up the good work!
And FYI, I have been working on my art all my life and I am still not as good as many others here at TFS and in the industry, but we all make our way. I love it and will continue to try to improve myself.

Happy sketching!!!
