How I Sketch My Fashion Designs | In The Making SZN26 Ep. 5

Step into my sketchbook for Episode 5 of In the Making as I reveal my full fashion sketching process; from emotional inspiration to silhouette design. This is where my vision becomes visible. In this behind-the-scenes look at how I create digital fashion sketches for my Spring/Summer 2026 collection, I’m sharing the exact tools I use (including Adobe Illustrator and free alternatives), how I develop my hero piece, and how I build a balanced collection with editorial, trendy, and easy-sell designs. Whether you're a fashion designer, boutique owner, or just curious about the design process, this episode will help you understand how to turn an idea into a sketched reality, no matter your skill level. ✧ Read the full blog post: https://www.iconicfashionfigure.com/how-to-make-fashion-sketches-easy-tutorial/ ✧ Watch on Riche Stitch for the manufacturer's POV: YouTube.com/@RicheStitch -Iconic Fashion Figure –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Time Stamps: 00:00 — How I Create My Fashion Sketches 00:25 — Fabric dilemma: What would you make with this? 01:46 — My go-to tools for digital fashion sketching 02:35 — Why I still use Adobe Illustrator + learning Browzwear 03:40 — The hero piece: Starting the design process 04:26 — Fabric swatches & sketching based on fabric 05:12 — Building out the rest of the collection 06:13 — Easy sellers, trend pieces, and editorial balance 08:10 — Creating fashion for all lifestyles & occasions 09:54 — How boutique owners can apply this method too 12:30 — My favorite free sketching software alternatives 13:46 — Other affordable fashion design tools 15:45 — Turning sketches into specs for production 16:55 — What’s Next –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Check Out These Other Videos: Episode 1 - https://youtu.be/PXqeA1mXLw4 Episode 2 - https://youtu.be/mycvzDABpIQ Episode 3 - https://youtu.be/-QjocOaglyc Episode 4 - https://youtu.be/e-d8-fxySXg –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Iconic Fashion Figure: Website - iconicfashionfigure.com Icons - icon@iconicfashionfigure.com Business Opportunities - collab@iconicfashionfigure.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/iconicfashionfigure TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@iconicfashionfigure? –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Riche Stitch: Website: https://richestitch.com/ @richestitch (IG, TikTok & YouTube) @richestitchofficial (Pinterest) –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Nouveau Riche Apparel Wholesale Clothing: Website - https://shopnouveauriche.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/shopnouveauriche FaceBook - https://www.facebook.com/shopnouveauricheapparel No License Wholesale Clothing - https://posh.mk/q2d2LAsQm4 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Fashion Formula 101: Website - https://fashionformula101.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fashionformula101/ FaceBook - https://www.facebook.com/fashionformula101 Twitter - https://twitter.com/fashionformula_ Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/fashionformula101/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/fashion-formula-801ba0223/ –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Amazon Store: Website - https://www.amazon.com/shop/iconicfashionfigure –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Promo Codes: CapCut Pro: capcutaffiliateprogram.pxf.io/VmMbnA Mew Mews: https://rebrand.ly/sseaa3v Promo Code - ICONMM20 (20% off) DearLover Wholesale: https://bit.ly/3DI3Rfn DearLover Dropshipping: https://bit.ly/3NdfSMI Promo Code - IFF10 (10% off wholesale and drop shipping) Tidio 20% Off: https://www.tidio.com/get/iff/ Promo Code - IFF20 Nail Addict: https://bit.ly/2Yq0lRM Promo Code - SHANNON55 (55% off) #FashionSketching #FashionDesignProcess #DigitalFashionSketches #FashionDesign #IconicFashionFigure #SpringSummer2026 #InTheMaking
