Next, we'll be putting the general outlines of our clothing onto the fashion figures. So today we're working with fur. And that can come in many different textures, I just want to show you some images I'll be working from, it is helpful to work from photos of actual for or even better the real thing if you have a model. So we'll be illustrating some shearling, some leopard print with a little box for trim. And then this is more of a natural Fox with the highs and lows of the black and white. And then this is kind of a fuzzy or shearling for that's a little float here, but it's not quite as sleek as the fox.

So you'll get an opportunity to learn about all these today. And I'm going to start by illustrating the the leopard. So basically this first model, it's going to have kind of a loose boxy coat So you can put that in here. Just keep in mind how it would fit the body. Maybe it overlaps here at the end, maybe it swings out because she's walking. So you have the general shape of the jacket, and then she's gonna have these kind of big fuzzy lapels.

So give yourself a general idea of shape. Maybe the jacket sleeves are a little bit cropped. So as you can see, we now don't need the underlying structure. Technically, if you wanted to shortcut this by just drawing the garment and then adding little legs and a head, you could, but it's best to understand before you get to that point, how these shapes are, are realized and how the body underneath influences the way the fabric should drape or in this case before, so she will be up fuzzy lapel. This is our Fox. Fox I illustrate with tight little pencil strokes like this.

It's realistically not that fuzzy but I'm going to give her a little bit of drama, you know. And it comes around her neck, so make sure you get a little bit of height there behind her neck. Also, let's put her in a turtleneck. It's winter so she stays warm. And then here, when you illustrate leopard, leopard print is generally just circular shapes. So you want to make some circular shapes and then some kind of organic circular shapes that have like a little bit of a dot inside and they should all look a little bit better.

Different and be a little organic. Again, looking at the real thing is helpful. But generally just think dots and rounded, rounded shapes, all different sizes and scales. The more varied you make it, the more real it will look. Maybe this one here isn't even closed. Another thing you'll notice as you're doing this, the the eye tends to want to create patterns for us.

Even here you can see there's a dot, dot and a dot. And these are kind of moving in a straight line. I didn't do that intentionally, but your brain fills in the blanks. The problem with that is it tends to look less real. So really You know, even if you see a pattern, you could go back and erase it, fill it in with something that feels more organic. Maybe there's a little side swoopy shape like that.

And now we've broken up that line a bit. I'm not going to fill in everything on this side, just an indication so that we know it's leopard and it will be even more obvious when we get to the color portion. We're going to give her some little booties with a pointed toe. And there she is. This figure I will put in the the sock shearling which is here. So let me first draw the general shape of this jacket onto her.

Maybe it's a little bit open in the front And make this kind of big and volumous this jacket shape is more fuzzy. I'm also going to give her a little turtleneck. Okay, and then with this just soft a little curly edges just little squiggles all around the side. I'm, I'm paying attention to where the arm hole would be set in on the sleeve, because you will see a little break in the for at that point. Even with your squiggles be as organic as possible. Try and avoid places where it creates a pattern will feel more natural Good.

Maybe she's in a little dress. You don't have to pay too much attention to what's underneath will just kind of indicate she's in dressed maybe there's a little belt. Good. Let's put her in. Some little shoes. Maybe their mid cap boots.

Just have fun. This could be any design you want. To me this is probably a little piece leather booty. Yours could be a bow it could be a pointy toed heel, it could be really anything. Next our third figure, we will put her in a big long Fox per jacket and we want this Fox to be Kind of oversized and plush. And I'm going to give her kind of a focal point belt here.

Maybe it has two prongs, little keeper, little tail good. And so that's where it cinched in. What we want to do is make sure it really feels like above and below the cinched in belt, that furs really coming, coming out in a volumous way. So the way she's standing, I'm actually going to swing this part down and away from her leg. Let's say it's a really long jacket. Maybe you see a little bit of a ring Go like that.

She's gonna have quite a big lapel over here to just touch up the edges with a little bit of indication that it's a surfer. Good. Let's give her some tighter sleeves. Maybe it's a wool jacket with just the fur trim. Where's her hand going to erase some of these Lake lines. That is now covered with the jacket.

Give her some little shoes and good. Next, this will be kind of the floaty shearling that's a little longer for That's going to have a stand up caller about like that. And an area here. frames the for this first very fuzzy kind of midway between what we did the fox which are hard pencil lines and what we did with the shearling which are circular, it's kind of like a floaty straight line that we want to get to this jacket. Here's the armhole. Maybe her arm is swung behind this side of the jacket and then over here, I know what Put the hand here but I actually want it tucked into her pocket.

So anytime you want to reroute, just erase and rework it. Yeah, maybe she has pockets here. That's gonna come up quite a bit away from her body. And then I will also put her in little booties and there we have the general shapes with the fur on top.
