Figures & editorial images

Illustrations that communicate a look, silhouette or mood for a publication, presentation or campaign. The relationship between the person and the clothes is part of the story.

Apparel graphics

Artwork intended for a garment: a central illustration, smaller placement or coordinated set. The composition accounts for the printable area and the way the design sits on the object.

Related motifs and repeat patterns can connect a collection without making each product identical. Provide the production requirements so the designs can be considered at the intended scale.

The Nutcracker illustrations developed into artwork for Oyobabe’s children’s clothing and bed linen. The published case includes actual product applications, alongside the designs that connect the collection. The source characters belong to Soyuzmultfilm and were used within that licensed project.

The shrimp apparel image is a separate studio mockup. It explores how another illustration might work on clothing; it is not presented as a commissioned or manufactured range.

For your project, share the manufacturer’s template, print area and material. Color limits, seams and the size of the finished graphic can change which details belong in the artwork.

A fashion illustration can describe an outfit while communicating attitude and movement. The reference supplies the garment; the composition decides what the viewer notices first.

Share photographs or drawings of the look and identify the details that must remain accurate. Is the image about a particular product, a broader mood or the character wearing it? The Masha process story offers a starting point for discussing that balance.

A painterly illustration, a simple emblem and an embroidery design need different handoffs. Technical garment design, digitising and sample approval are separate tasks to agree rather than automatic parts of the commission.

Put this direction into a useful brief.

Bring a relevant portfolio example and describe what you like about it: the handling of colour, the expression, the texture or the composition. Then describe your own subject and where the artwork will appear. The reference starts the discussion; the new work is developed for your particular purpose.

Fashion & apparel questions.

Do you create fashion sketches or clothing-print designs?

Both can be discussed, but they are different briefs. A figure illustration presents a look; apparel artwork becomes part of a garment. Explain the outcome and intended use.

Can you design a garment or technical pack?

This offer centres on illustration, graphics and textile artwork. Garment construction, sizing, technical packs and production engineering are not assumed to be included.

Can a design be prepared for embroidery?

Share the size and embroiderer’s requirements. Artwork development and machine digitising are separate tasks; the treatment and required handoff must be confirmed first.

What affects the price and schedule?

Figure development, number of designs, detail, variations, production preparation and usage. Send the complete asset list and launch date for a project-specific quote rather than assuming a fixed package.

Can we use the artwork in future seasons?

Describe the term, product categories and future uses in the brief. Additional seasons or categories may need an extension to the agreed licence. See the current terms.

What are you developing next?

Send the garment, collection or editorial brief, with references and the intended application.
