Jukka Rintala Workshop - Fashion drawing

Last week Jukka Rintala came to lecture about his work at our school and held a workshop about fashion drawing as well. I was one of the lucky ones that got on that class.

He first explained to us, that fashion drawing is impulsive and artistic and that you want to capture the feeling of the clothing onto the paper and not to think too much about the construction. There are other technical drawings for that matter. It is important to draw as much as you can, so that you'll be able to control your drawing hand, you shouldn't follow pen when drawing but to keep on eye on the whole picture. You'll find your own drawing line when rehearsing.

 

Rintala's drawings: Design of a jewellery, coat design for men and for women as well

Rintala often uses aquarelles and ink to define his works. He also says that he doesn't use pen for sketching but the lines made with pen are also part of the picture and no unnecessary lines are drawn. No erasing as it should be. He first showed us how to make more of an artistic fashion drawing and then how to draw clothes for collections that are little more detailed.

I found this course really inspiring and useful, it is always glad to watch someone when he knows exactly what he's doing. This class also changed my view of drawing.
