Like it seems very specific field it is sub sub part of drawing then some sub sub part of fashion designing

[u/DGLPixelNotes]

it does feel like a sub-sub thing, but that can be useful if you pick a lane: editorial images, lookbook work, or concept sketches for a designer. which part do you actually enjoy drawing most—the clothes themselves or the mood around them

[u/WildlyExtensiveHomer → u/DGLPixelNotes]

editorial stuff is where the money is, nobody pays for mood boards when they need actual garment flats

[u/RocketSeven]

pick one buyer such as a fashion magazine or apparel brand and build three sample assignments around what they actually commission. a narrow portfolio makes the field easier to enter than presenting fashion illustration as a general skill
