[wood 666]

i want to start drawing my thoughts about clothes. are there any topics here on sufu on how to start drawing? like at dummy beginners level.

i got some really good ideas

[Northwest]

Post one up weed 69! It'd be great to have a thread for that. I am curious to try my hand as well.

[wood 666]

someone can cross post this, cos i cant find a thread meant for this. i wrote a little description for it. note that i don't draw that very often so the angles and the black places are kind of just small mistakes but whatever:

prototype; tech inspired fishtail parka/coat.

the softest dark grey wool, button and hidden (riri) zipper lock, various utility functions; iphone pocket (& gun sling lol). sleeves are accompanied with tapered wrist-straps. breathable, water & weather proof. black silk lining.

plenty of room for an insulator jacket. designed for biking in an urban environment and fighting a potential civil war.

yeah i mean

that's what happened in the past couple of years with fashion product bloggers and the internet

there is so much consumer knowledge out there now,

such that everyone seems to consider themselves as "curated experts in product details"

that's kind of the angle a lot of clothing brands pander to now,

spitting out product buzzwords like "riri, talon, cone mills, primaloft" and stuff

which to me, is both a good thing and a bad thing.

it's leveled the playing field and barrier to entry... as many cool new brands and concepts come out, there is also a staggering amount of redundancy and dickriding

hey i totally feel you. how i wish knew how to sew and had a six digit budget.

would you cop, though? i promise i will hire only master tailors and use the most luxurious of fabrics.

edit: or maybe i could hire you for insider buzzword knowledge so i know what to put on this shit and make it more likable

i'd print on t-shirts the stuff you see in your fighter pilot helmets, neo-classicism, kabbala and psychedelics. very original. lots of ideologies, lots of them

dusty black n white pin ups, each single tee signed individually, respectively by your favorite niche amateur model. maybe blueprints and stuff too...

ok, i gotta stop

You're so cute felip

Srsly tho why not just start doing it? You'll learn so much about how much you don't know which is the fun part. Read some books on basic sewing, make simple stuff for yourself, and with your newfound basic pattern making knowledge observe the construction of the clothes you own and see online and see what makes a great designer great, from the silhouette to the details to the brand image. Then find a maker to make a sample for you and decide for yourself if you really want to make clothes for sale or you just want something cool to wear that you can tell people you made/designed.

The idea of tumblr focused products that thrives off detail buzzwords sounds like an interesting project tho... Though more sociological than fashunz

avoid sharpservice. they done changed for the worse.

[andrewisdope]

I think they just care more about bigger orders. I've used them 3 times in the last 2 months and they've been extremely responsive.

[dranoelsy]

jawnz production is like, not that simple man

u gotta worry about making the pattern then cutting the shits then sewing fabric together

u gotta worry about seam allowance and all dat dere

watch out for dat seam allowance bro

[OkayOkay]

These people I know always bitching about how hard it is to get going in their career or find work. I'm like damn dude, you picked a "career" with exceptionally low barriers to entry, and something pretty easy that most anyone can do with a minimal financial or time investment. Everyone should take an Econ course. You ever hear a cardiologist or a CPA bitching on Facebook about "how these fucking kids make it so hard to earn a living". I'm sorry your graphic design / photography / marketing / merchandising career isn't skyrocketing, I'm blown away.

*disclaimer: some people do make it in these industries, props to you. You're probably justified in bitching about how some kid is fucking the industry up by shooting weddings with his iPhone.

park my car and am sitting in it for a second before i get out and go to the barber when this guy pulls up behind me and hits my parked car. as i can feel my car shaking while this guy is getting out his i get out to check it out.

get out the car walk towards the back and find this guys car is still on mine pressing my bumper in. i calmly walk up to the guy as he's trying to flee and say hey you hit my car, its fine though can you just back your car up? (I'm getting bodywork done to my shit soon anyway so i didn't really care).

This guy then decides to go off on me yelling at the top of his lungs to give him a break and starts yelling at me to call the cops then so while he's yelling i tell him to "relax nobodys calling the cops, i just want your car off of mine" he starts screaming " I'm sick of you people" over and over again so i tell him to "just back your fuckin car up man" and he responds "a fucker? are you calling me a fucker?! don't call me a fucker I'm a gentleman I'm sick of you people and your motherfucker this and fuck you that and FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK"

by now a ton of people are on the street seeing what all the noise is about and I'm just standing there while this du is flailing his arms everywhere telling me that I'm an asshole trying to give him problems trying to complicate his life. so random dude walks up and is like "uh, you hit him, whats your problem man?" and the guy then looks at the cars again, finally assess the situation gets in the car moves it back slams his door and starts yelling at me again that I'm trying to set him up and am i happy now with his fingers all in my face which i reply "yes, yes i am. thank you for moving your car from ontop of mine" and as i start walking away, he decided to keep going in on me as I'm walking down the street yelling at me from his car.

this whole thing went on for a cool five minutes before he finally moved his shit.

fuck people.
