What advise would you give about designing unique clothes for fantasy human races? All the clothes you draw are so pretty and match the people wearing them so much 😍

caemidraws:

I’m still awful at tutorials but I can also keep trying doodling them randomly!! So thank you and enjoy the Show:

A fancy title is always good to start with. Feel the fancy. Make those lines flow but in a fancy way.

This can be a little obvious, but it’s also Very Important: if you want your design to match your character, you may also want to think about:

  1. your oc’s tastes. (and with this I mean Your tastes: what do you see your oc looking Good in?)
  2. your oc’s body shape. Are their arms thin or muscular? Would they prefer showing those muscles or hide them? Would they be proud of a flat chest or ignore it for fashion? 
  3. your oc’s traditions/culture/place they’re born/etc. (very,very,very poor) examples: very cold place=used to wear many layers of clothes; very hot place= pirate
  4. does your oc Love flowers? Get inspired by their shapes and compositions, find yourself some flowers ref. Does your oc love the cold touch of death as they ride their horse down a mountain at the max speed? Add a cool cape that would look awesome in the wind.

The colors you pick don’t need to be a lot, really! But that can depend on your OC’s personality and fashion sense. Personally, I’d prefer to wear only 1 or 2/max 3 colors at the same time. There are many useful sites for picking color palettes, but you could also use colors you see in nature (plants, animals, etc) or in art eras/movements (gothic art, renaissance, baroque, art nouveau, etc.)

My Favorite Step!! Actually, there’s no need to add Many details, it could be just an earing, a ring, a nice hat or weird make up choices. (I suggest you to look at a bunch of art eras you feel your oc with and get inspired by them)

And…that’s it for tonight! I’m sure I’ve forgotten the Key to Character Design but hope the ‘tutorial’ was at least Not Boring to go through. Thank you for your patience with my tutorial and english skills and good luck with designing!! 

Never give up on Fashion!!! (be it questionable or not)
