Menswear Illustrations


For my next project I'm going to attempt to create some form of menswear. So it shows a variety of different aspects of fashion in which I will be able to do. I don't know specifically what the project is based upon until I find out later today. All I can say to you is that we will place our hand into a bag full of random words, and whichever word we pick out will be our starting point. Which is a bit daunting, but in industry we don't always get given a subject we particularly like but we get on with it and make it enjoyable. Throughout a number of my projects, when it comes fashion illustrations, i'm straight on the internet and looking for Croquis on google. So i've looked up some visual artwork based on mens fashion illustrations, and found some amazing pieces! The idea there not just 'fashion illustrations'. They seem to have so much more aspect to them, rather than just showing off the garments.


I love this one! it's totally different compared to other illustrations. They've used a range of material to create this dull and mysterious effect. So by not just using pencil or pen, but by using a range of different materials you can create different shades, and different looks. 



On this one I almost see a bit of surrealism in this picture. Why doesn't the character have a face? Is it simply because it's the idea of when you wear this garment, does it make you feel like you can be anyone you wish to be? Almost like you don't have to stick to a trend, or anything. That you don't have to be given an identity because by wearing this coat you are sticking to your own trend not someone else's?  i like the fact of having illustrations that say more about a person as well as showing and advertising a garment. 

I love this colour scheme! it's unusual but unique. The colours seem very feminine, yet it's advertising for menswear? So it's making the public think. Do I want to wear this and have a feminine identity, but in the form of a man? But by using a facial expression also it gives the idea that yes this looks very feminine but the expression gives the idea that no, actually this look is only for the wealthy, were a higher class than you, and you wish you could afford this look.
