Fashion Illustration 013 - Denim Mermaid Formal Gown Dress

Greetings!

A long, fitted evening gown made from denim fabric. The dress features a plunging neckline with shirt collar, a structured bodice with pockets, brass coloured buttons running down the front and stitching detail in typical jean style. The skirt flares out dramatically at the bottom, creating a mermaid silhouette.

Drawing Process - Original Sketch to Digital Illustration

Old drawing in ballpoint pen and acrylic paint. (2016)

Updated sketch in ballpoint pen (2025)

Flat colours, a little bit better than previous drawings.

Experimenting with textures on the painting app.

Process Video, some editing skills are still needed to get around it looking like nothing is happening while doing the finer details.

Final details complete the sketch, which I am quite happy with.

Well that's it for now, till next time!
