Step 2 Finding the right place
Eyes should never be touching the outline of the face and should be of equal size each. Leave some space from the sides to draw the temples and divide the rest in three equal parts.

Tip: According to the Golden rule between the eyes enough space for a third one should be left. This guarantees you a pretty look. In my illustrations I prefer to leave just a little bit less. It’s just my personal preference.
Step 3
Mark how wide the eyes are going to be. Remember that in fashion you are looking for a glamorous, sophisticated look. Keep the lines comparatively close to each other.

Step 5
Soften the edges and find the middle of the eye.
For the opened eye draw a curved line coming down, that starts from the Centerline. These curves will give your model a sexy cat look.

Step 6 Drawing the pupil
If she is looking straight forward your model’s pupil will be situated in themiddle 1/3 of the eye.
Draw two overlapping circles and hide about half of them under the upper eyelid. Fill the inner one with black, leaving a tiny white dot to make the eye come alive.

Tip: If your are looking for more drama and mystery in the face expression of your girl try to hide small part of the circles under the lower lid too.
Step 7: The eyelashes
Bold the outline of the eye trying not to change the original form. This will serve for eyeliner and eyelashes. Notice that the bolding of the lower side ends at the eye Centerline and that the upper lashes are a bit longer.
Mark the eyelashes of the closed eye.
In the inner corner of the eyes draw small ellipses ellipses for the tear ducts.

Error 2: The eyes are too separated. Always leave some space from the eyes outer corner to the head outline and distance equal to about one eye between the two.
To be honest drawing profile faces wasn't exactly my favorite thing. I know that fashion sketches look much more dynamic and interesting when you put the head in different positions, but the profile is difficult. Sometimes it was coming out good, sometimes not. Until I discovered a scheme that works every time! And I am about to share it with you....
This is the longest tutorial I've done so far. 14 steps and this is the minimum I could store the essence of this new method.
This is only a quick preview of the tutorial. The actual "How to draw profile faces" will be published very soon with all the explanations and tips that I make in every post.
I am extremely happy that I was able to split it in very easy steps so that everyone could draw a beautiful profile female face for their fashion sketches. I love my work, I love you all !♥

There are numerous differences between the normal female figure and the figure you use for fashion illustrations. How to draw the fashion body? It is not enough to observe the real life figure, but also you have to know how to change what you see. In this tutorial you will explore the differences body part by body part and see them as no book shows it to you.
Step 1: Different face types
So many shapes of face: diamond, oblong, round, squeare, heart and oval .
Although in real life we see all different types of heads and faces, in fashion illustration it is recommended to use the oval one, as it is concidered to be“the perfect face shape”.

Step 2: Normal or fashion neck
Fashion models have long, thin necks and emphasized collarbones. If you remember this and apply it to your illustrations they will look more graceful and elegant. Note how anatomic details are skipped and the collarbone is exaggerated to make her look bonier.
Step 3: The fashion figure
Even if you are drawing a woman with ideal body, her proportions still won’t work for fashion illustration. In fashion drawing the body is very idealized.
o The shoulders are straightened up and high, never bent down.
o The breasts are pushed up, round and not too big. Be carefudll with this, because many illustrators tend to give their models a bigger bra with the idea to make them look sexier, but this is not the best solution to represent drawn garments.
o The waist is very thin- with about the same width that the head in it’s widest part is.
o The hips are the same width as the breastline. Think 90-60-90.
Details that are typical for a fit body are welcome, but don’t go too far with this.

Step 4: The arms
The main differance between a normal arm and a fashion arms is that the latter is thiner and more defined. See how the shape of the arm is more “angular” and how thiner the wrist is. To draw thiner arms don’t mean to make them longer, so make sure to keep the real life proportions and the place of the elbow (the same line the waist lies).
Step 5: How to draw hands
This is among the most asked question in fashion illustration, but it will be discussed in a separate tutorial.
Comparing the real life hand with the fashion one, it is easy to note that thefashion illustration hand has lost most of the details. You draw no wrinkles, and mark ever so slightly the bones. Your model’s hands have to be delicate and in a feminine fashion, not hidden behind her back.

Step 6: Long, long legs
Another very specific thing about fashion illustration are the beautiful long legsof the models. In the image below you can see how the shape of the thigh is more defined and even a muscle detail is shown.
The knee is just hinted, never give it too much details. Just keep it thiner and slightly tilted.
The biggest change is in the lenght of the calf. It’s lenght is turning point for the good look of your illustration. A leg looks slimmer and longer if its calf, not thigh, is enlenghtened.

Step 7: How to draw feet
The feet in fashion drawing are longer and thiner than the normal ones. The ankle is more defined and the instep is more shaped. When you draw the toes it’s absolutely enough to draw only the thumb with its nail and leave the rest ot the toes to viewer’s imagination.
