Big thanks to our friends: Ground-zero from UK and Jantine Van Peski from Belgium, allowing us to draw their outfits on big-size! Their outfits are so amazing! Here is the example drawings of their outfits on Fashionary templates drawn by our illustrator Vikki.
With basic drawing tools, pencils HB, 2B, 4B & 6B, Vikki drew on the super big fashion templates using the simple method, printing 10 A4 papers and make a super big Fashionary templates. It’s about 1:11 of original A5 Fashionary templates to super big templates!! More Jantine‘s collection “WIRES 10.0″ from her master degree at Antwerp Fashion Academy as below. Her work focus on silhouette and craftsmanship with her great technique. And it’s super cool!
Ground-zero was established in 2003 by the talented duo brothers, Eri and Philip chu. Unique graphic print is their icon.They create outfits with moods, thoughts and attitude. Our team love this chinese blue floral vase dress very much and we spent around 8 hours to sketch the beautiful floral prints in details.

Kathryn Elyse Rodgers is currently working as an apparel designer for Reebok in Boston. She is a passionate, creative thinker and excited about her future and present. I love her way in expression the details of outfits so much, it’s interesting and full of texture!
George Stavrinos was an amazing artist who sketched those fabulous Bergdorf’s ads in the New York Times. I found the realism of his fashion figures refreshing. Sadly, the great Stavrinos passed away in 1990 at the young age of 42 due to complications from pneumonia.
