In this ongoing class, students will sketch a new themed design every week. Each week is charged as a subscription on Sunday mornings. Students can join or leave the series any week. Though prior attendance and knowledge of the subject is not required to attend, it is highly recommended that students take our Beginners Fashion Fundamentals to benefit most effectively from this class.

Students will illustrate designer sketches like the runway looks. We will start with the foundation layer, then add patterns, prints and embellishments. Students will focus on learning the basics of clothing detail drawing in terms of textile characteristics, how to illustrate florals and patterns, how to render textures like glitter, shine, leather, and matte finishes, how various types of fabric fold and move differently, and how to apply such knowledge to properly draw the clothed body.

Once they built a solid foundation and keep practicing, they will be able to create a multitude of unique styles of their own and use variations of croquis templates to design for different body types and sizes. Classes are highly interactive and students will have the opportunity to socialize and share their ideas in a fun and upbeat environment. It is a perfect fan-based social for students to meet other fashion hobbyists who would aspire to be future fashion designers, costume designers or fashion illustrators.

** Please note this class will not draw the croqui during class. A croqui template will be posted under the "Classroom" page for the students to trace out before class. We will focus on the styling and design, clothing illustration and idea sharing to promote self-expression, reflection, and creative thinking under an engaging learner-directed atmosphere.

1:1 Private Class option: We offer one-on-one private tutoring on custom topics and skill levels tailored to learners' individual preferences. Please message us directly for details.
