Learn Fashion Illustration from Yelen Ayé

[@MrPIPPIKAKA]

I learned more from this video than I did in college, getting a degree in fashion design...Our illustration "class" was just a model, and no instruction. I payed THOUSANDS for those classes, btw...

[@kristinebooden6235]

Thanks for sharing I felt like I was missing out not going to school! Your comment was very helpful 😊😊

[@daylematthews]

I cannot believe I just watched a bunch of scribbles turn into a perfectly formed fashion illustration right before my eyes. Thanks. Wonderful and inspiring.

[@Sachmare]

Really learned a lot in 20 mins. Today I'm going to practice the action pose and just letting it be free. Also paying not too much attention on too much detail in the beginning...light comes from left side! I ASPIRE too develop my skill like you. Truly amazing. Thanks for sharing!

[@dylanmierzwinski]

Even your "abandon-able" sketches are beautiful.

[@ricoruiz46]

absolutely fantastic!!!!! simplicity,coupled with elegance and all the trimmings of fashion...i NEEDED THIS !!!!

[@venetiayoung8799]

Thank you for creating this video. I am taking Fashion Illustration at the Community College and we spent an entire evening on drawing stick figures and proportioning the fashion model.

[@joanhenkel236]

Love watching the simplicity of the stylized line art. Simple Simple Simple, fast and it resembled something that you could recognise as a fashion illustration. :-)

[@dariusdynamite]

Holy crap, this was an awesome tutorial! Why? (I'm glad you asked!) The layers that you used helped to establish the idea, then build up on it without it being a cluttered mess that seemed to go no where - a problem I often have when I (try to) draw. Even though I've heard this idea many times, you presented it in a new way. The lines you drew also helped to give convincing form and realism to the design. You were fast and efficient, and you made it look SIMPLE! Thanks for the post!

[@barbraignatiev505]

Man I wish I would've seen this tutorial when I was younger, when I was drawing princesses all the time. I woulda been the best princess drawererer of all. Seriously though, thanks. Super helpful and exactly what I was looking for! Thanks, Yelen.

[@1murkeybadmayn]

not a fashion designer (my sister is) but I come here to improve my gesture drawings and these videos are very helpful, many thanks Yelen...

[@trudiepops9112]

I love how positive the comment section is :) This is a really helpful tutorial as I love Moscow street fashion and I want to design outfits inspired by the culture of it. I find it hard to not add intricate details early in the sketch process so this could really help me nail the pose and anatomy rather than the face and hands etc.

[@queengueniverletigio8376]

Your video amazed me.I like the fact that you did that in just a couple of minutes.

[@lizday8140]

Well, this just popped up and made me happy! I tell people that I cannot sketch. Any other art or craft, sure, I can do it! Calligraphy, even...yes! Sketching and painting, not so much. You have inspired me to "try less", if that makes sense! Just let it go and loose my perfectionism. That's what kills my drawing. Hope you are doing well amidst the crazy stress of 2020. Blessings and gratitude from Texas!

[@Everdeen10]

Oh god you make it seem so easy

[@paypaymoney8548]

Thank you for posting this mini lesson!

[@patriciacastillo5560]

Thanks!! I will try and I hope I can learn aging !!!!! It's been 20 years and I never practice but I am going to star all over again!!! Wish me luck

[@balduvinaarmas8571]

You doing a perfect draw. I'm an older lady, and now I saw your job. Thanks..

[@ScrumptiousOlivia]

I love your wind chimes outside, the way you draw is not what I expected but it makes so much sense now the way fashion concept art looks.

[@nepzero1012]

I seriously needed this. This was my major problem when i was trying to start hand drawing my sketches. i couldn't grasp how and where i should start when making illustrations and it seriously bothered me. This just made everything a lot easier.

[@angelderek5972]

i wish i could draw that well, its so beautiful, i wanna capture my vision

[@zwanso]

I want to be a fashion designer so bad the progress is beginning to come out in my drawing and sketches naturally Great tutorial helps a lot!!

[@marchela2002]

the master of fast sketching !! very helpful thanks ^^

[@cadu-zz1sv]

A strong hug from Brazil dear teacher!!!

[@ANTOWANETTE1]

this takes lots of practice!! the approach that you use for this sketch is a good one. it is easier to sketch the countour that you want, then apply the actual shape of the body afterwards. it is a quicker process!

[@reyes1341]

So effortless! I spend too much time getting detailed right away, this video is a huge help! Thank you!!

[@MavisThe1st]

its amazing how you can make something so simple,beautiful

[@CandaceJordan00]

I found this really helpful!! I'm trying to get into this really famous school and one problem I had with sketching was thinking too much about it and worrying while I draw. You made it look so easy and I hope that with a little more practice I can send in a portfolio that will hopefully get me a scholarship!! Thank you so much!

[@ItsOctoberr]

Candace Silcott Same problem here haha

[@Ares-fq8uo]

Candace Silcott how did it go?

[@ulrikeselleckart]

Love this, Yelen! Thank you so much!

[@cruzo1022]

This is my favorite video I've watched in a long time. Thank you! Very inspirational!

[@sseward17]

you are so effin awesome. thank you for this. so minimal and thoughtful

[@rthur.]

had been searching for tutorials on fashion sketches and i think this video is best....keep it up

[@robind8155]

wow I took Yelen's class when I was in PCC love this teacher!

[@SarahAnnLawson]

Great tip about warm up sketches it's always take me a few trys to get a figure I can work with. Your finished product looks nothing like mine do but I will keep on practicing

[@chocolate001able]

You are soooo talented. You sure showed me a few more tricks....your never too old to learn : ) EXCELLENT!!!!

[@Tismaillva]

You are a great teacher quick,concentrated & organized love it and thank you 🤗😍

[@UGLYFLEUR]

this was the one tutorial i always come back 2 cause i also like watching this video(: it helped me a long time ago and i'm still watching it(:

[@ginggarz2829]

you've drawn such wonderful figures and an extraordinary design yet very classy...

[@jennydee3]

thank you so much for the tutorial!! I love fashion design, but I always suck at the sketches, I'm not a good drawer. I think I get it now, I pay too much attention to detail. The structure really helped me understand it better. Thank you!!!

[@unixnes]

Thanks for this video. It makes me sketch better and easier than before.

[@jdogsmooooth]

this tutorial is amazing. i've been drawing all my life but with more of a comic style, not professionally and lacking form. introduced a bit of proportion and your technique bam looks great.

[@jannichealicaboaaren2192]

You have a very nice line! I like your comment about one should not be to precious about the strokes, I really need to practice that. Thank you for posting great stuff and also for showing the tools you use in detail :D

[@benja3257]

I tried my first sketches! Thank you so much man :O Hope i can get through all this stuffs and start fashion design in this amazing school in Paris

[@janiyab-uu2vj]

Thank you very much, for the tutorial and advice,oh and the mistake you mentioned that most fashion designers make like you said is in taking a work too seriously and then having trouble abandoning it that is a problem that I encounter a lot.

[@lmokh]

More of those tutorials would be amazing !

[@karenforbes9186]

Thank you for your video It was so easy how you put drawing across. I was scared of drawing and you made simple and fun.

[@fatimagawad8324]

I first did not know what he was doing at the beginning, but then I liked his illustration later..

[@veraherrero1082]

Thank you!! Love the way you make it simple and easy ;)

[@babimamine3788]

i love you

[@bonniebrown1566]

I’m 11 years late to this video, but just have to comment. Wow!! This was so neat to watch! I wish he had a whole playlist of these tutorials…

[@elizabethsilverstein5930]

thanks! i enjoyed seeing your sketches come to life.

[@PaulRamnora]

Superb drawings! Wow! I really love the style. ;-) (If only I could ever learn to do that...?! Of course, experts make everything look really simple, straight forwards, and, easy. But, for someone who can't actually draw very well; then, indeed, it's tremendously difficult...with mistakes being made all over the place...!)

[@zee6296]

Really amazing. U have made fashion illustration so simple . Thank you so much

[@pickledegg2608]

That's why I LOVE COPIC markers, because if you color with it, especially red, it will looks like really fabric!

[@mileyondisney5588]

Amazing talent! Even his first rough sketches looked awesome. Thanks for sharing this!

[@sheballinonabudget]

What a great teacher you are. Thank you.

[@sissiben8093]

[@Shalina111]

I love that in fashion design, even a rough sketch can look so cool. :)

[@mariescott9071]

Fantastic! you are so inspirational Iave learnt so much from your video and can't wait too get practicing.

[@crucifuck8004]

Prismacolor, but this was at a local art store having a sale.I think they sell on Amazon also. Yeah I can't wait to try out the yiynova and see what it can do. No problem.

[@kodiemacayan1894]

This tutorial is a big help for me to practice my sketching. Thanks a lot! :)

[@dreamreacher8836]

[@saxskiabianca4465]

Brilliant teacher! Thank you for your knowledge. Look forward to more.

[@mrsmojet1]

sat here for five minutes with mouth open and hands up. like hoooow though. I love the sketching not sure if its as effortless as you make it seem theres an assumption of being able to sketch.

[@ulaawniczak1914]

Your style of drawing is amazing! I loveee it!

[@saramyles4750]

I learned how to draw bodies better by going to the library and getting books... My favorite book is entitled "9 heads". It was super explanatory and helpful. When I went to Fashion school I found the same book in my resource library, check it out!

[@spiridiona]

Hi Yelen,I would ask you about the fabrics for knitwear :it's important for an illustrator or graphic designer to have a good knowledge about?Thank you for your accurate videos and explanations.

[@christineIee]

I appreciated your commentary. Made it very informative

[@Koyelization]

Simply loved your illustrations!

[@ThinkerThunker]

This turned up by accident, not at all what I was looking for. But that was brilliant :)

[@FashionTeaching]

I love Copics too:) and also art and graphic twin with their brush tip:)

[@anad8087]

Um, why have I struggled for so long lol. So simple. Thank You.

[@fishpacedloveya]

you r amazing! u r such an inspiration to me! I know im only eleven, but you r my idol! i bought a few copic markers which i had to beg from my parents and i try to do this everyday! i wanna be a fashion designer like you one day! i hope u see this! like this if u support my dream!

[@Jamilofftrail]

lots of think i learn from you.. pls keep uploding this type of video.. love from bangladesh :)

[@ImaginaShip]

I love this style of drawing and have been wanting to incorporate it into my technique! Instant-follow :)

[@landenpuddicombe6145]

Great tutorial! and that type of sketching working in a fashion industry would be okay for illustration and print?

[@textillion]

i think this is the easiest way... thanku so much sir.

[@emperorny]

very nice video, how easy it looks to draw, can you tell me what is the technique you use in order to make and move the figures like that?

[@Xuxana687]

Wow, I had no idea this was done with Markers. I gotta say I really like this technique. The drawing became 3 dimensional quickly.

[@prisma29]

Fantastic tutorial! This is the second one I am watching. Any chance you will be uploading more? It is amazing to see you sketch, and all explanations are very clear. :)

[@BunxBunstudios14]

wow! I loved this video! I always stress about getting the body sketch just right but this video showed me that I don't really have to stress about it when I can just do something like this and fix the body later :)

[@tugbatufekci9308]
