Even your "abandon-able" sketches are beautiful.

I cannot believe I just watched a bunch of scribbles turn into a perfectly formed fashion illustration right before my eyes. Thanks. Wonderful and inspiring.

Oh god you make it seem so easy

Really learned a lot in 20 mins. Today I'm going to practice the action pose and just letting it be free. Also paying not too much attention on too much detail in the beginning...light comes from left side! I ASPIRE too develop my skill like you. Truly amazing. Thanks for sharing!

i wish i could draw that well, its so beautiful, i wanna capture my vision

Love watching the simplicity of the stylized line art. Simple Simple Simple, fast and it resembled something that you could recognise as a fashion illustration. :-)

Man I wish I would've seen this tutorial when I was younger, when I was drawing princesses all the time. I woulda been the best princess drawererer of all. Seriously though, thanks. Super helpful and exactly what I was looking for! Thanks, Yelen.

Holy crap, this was an awesome tutorial! Why? (I'm glad you asked!) The layers that you used helped to establish the idea, then build up on it without it being a cluttered mess that seemed to go no where - a problem I often have when I (try to) draw. Even though I've heard this idea many times, you presented it in a new way. The lines you drew also helped to give convincing form and realism to the design. You were fast and efficient, and you made it look SIMPLE! Thanks for the post!

A strong hug from Brazil dear teacher!!!

I found this really helpful!! I'm trying to get into this really famous school and one problem I had with sketching was thinking too much about it and worrying while I draw. You made it look so easy and I hope that with a little more practice I can send in a portfolio that will hopefully get me a scholarship!! Thank you so much!

Thank you for creating this video. I am taking Fashion Illustration at the Community College and we spent an entire evening on drawing stick figures and proportioning the fashion model.

wow I took Yelen's class when I was in PCC love this teacher!

You are a great teacher quick,concentrated & organized love it and thank you 🤗😍

This is my favorite video I've watched in a long time. Thank you! Very inspirational!

this was the one tutorial i always come back 2 cause i also like watching this video(: it helped me a long time ago and i'm still watching it(:

not a fashion designer (my sister is) but I come here to improve my gesture drawings and these videos are very helpful, many thanks Yelen...

I love drawing but never could get the hang of gestures. I see these character artists doing gesture sketches in less than 5 mins and I'm like "tell me your secrets" lol...

I love how positive the comment section is :) This is a really helpful tutorial as I love Moscow street fashion and I want to design outfits inspired by the culture of it. I find it hard to not add intricate details early in the sketch process so this could really help me nail the pose and anatomy rather than the face and hands etc.

its amazing how you can make something so simple,beautiful

absolutely fantastic!!!!! simplicity,coupled with elegance and all the trimmings of fashion...i NEEDED THIS !!!!

So effortless! I spend too much time getting detailed right away, this video is a huge help! Thank you!!

Thanks!! I will try and I hope I can learn aging !!!!! It's been 20 years and I never practice but I am going to star all over again!!! Wish me luck

this tutorial is amazing. i've been drawing all my life but with more of a comic style, not professionally and lacking form. introduced a bit of proportion and your technique bam looks great.

Amazing talent! Even his first rough sketches looked awesome. Thanks for sharing this!

This turned up by accident, not at all what I was looking for. But that was brilliant :)

I learned more from this video than I did in college, getting a degree in fashion design...Our illustration "class" was just a model, and no instruction. I payed THOUSANDS for those classes, btw...

had been searching for tutorials on fashion sketches and i think this video is best....keep it up

I love your wind chimes outside, the way you draw is not what I expected but it makes so much sense now the way fashion concept art looks.

Superb drawings! Wow! I really love the style. ;-) (If only I could ever learn to do that...?! Of course, experts make everything look really simple, straight forwards, and, easy. But, for someone who can't actually draw very well; then, indeed, it's tremendously difficult...with mistakes being made all over the place...!)

I seriously needed this. This was my major problem when i was trying to start hand drawing my sketches. i couldn't grasp how and where i should start when making illustrations and it seriously bothered me. This just made everything a lot easier.

We need more tutorials from Yelen he is a great artist 😍😍👍

You doing a perfect draw. I'm an older lady, and now I saw your job. Thanks..

you've drawn such wonderful figures and an extraordinary design yet very classy...

Well, this just popped up and made me happy! I tell people that I cannot sketch. Any other art or craft, sure, I can do it! Calligraphy, even...yes! Sketching and painting, not so much. You have inspired me to "try less", if that makes sense! Just let it go and loose my perfectionism. That's what kills my drawing. Hope you are doing well amidst the crazy stress of 2020. Blessings and gratitude from Texas!

Thank you for your video! I have been struggling and spending a lot of time doing my sketches to the real model. hope you can make more videos...Brilliant!

Thanksss soo much

I love Copics too:) and also art and graphic twin with their brush tip:)

you are so effin awesome. thank you for this. so minimal and thoughtful

Your video amazed me.I like the fact that you did that in just a couple of minutes.

What a great teacher you are. Thank you.

thank you so much for the tutorial!! I love fashion design, but I always suck at the sketches, I'm not a good drawer. I think I get it now, I pay too much attention to detail. The structure really helped me understand it better. Thank you!!!

Beautiful technique. Love it!

This tutorial is a big help for me to practice my sketching. Thanks a lot! :)

Brilliant teacher! Thank you for your knowledge. Look forward to more.

thanks! i enjoyed seeing your sketches come to life.

I love this style of drawing and have been wanting to incorporate it into my technique! Instant-follow :)

You have a very nice line! I like your comment about one should not be to precious about the strokes, I really need to practice that. Thank you for posting great stuff and also for showing the tools you use in detail :D

Love this, Yelen! Thank you so much!

Absolutely brilliant. Easy to follow. Thanks

Great tip about warm up sketches it's always take me a few trys to get a figure I can work with. Your finished product looks nothing like mine do but I will keep on practicing

I first did not know what he was doing at the beginning, but then I liked his illustration later..

Really amazing. U have made fashion illustration so simple . Thank you so much

You are soooo talented. You sure showed me a few more tricks....your never too old to learn : ) EXCELLENT!!!!

I love that in fashion design, even a rough sketch can look so cool. :)

I love it! and I love the voice of Yelen

This is the best tutorial ever! My sketches look amazing now!!!

Fantastic tutorial! :-)

Thank you very much, for the tutorial and advice,oh and the mistake you mentioned that most fashion designers make like you said is in taking a work too seriously and then having trouble abandoning it that is a problem that I encounter a lot.

Fantastic! you are so inspirational Iave learnt so much from your video and can't wait too get practicing.

I am so inspired right now! I hope you guys do more fashion illustration vids in the future

Your style of drawing is amazing! I loveee it!

Great! you make the whole thing simple.

this takes lots of practice!! the approach that you use for this sketch is a good one. it is easier to sketch the countour that you want, then apply the actual shape of the body afterwards. it is a quicker process!
