9255 - Fashion Illustration

Course Description

Artwork by Ava P.

Well before a model wears a garment down the runway, the vision comes to life on paper. Fashion illustrators bring fashion designs into context to help customers envision what it would be like to wear the garment. They show clothing in elaborate illustrations, complete with hair and facial features. The models are positioned in ways that convey attitude, mood and motion.

Start by experimenting with drawing styles and learning fashion proportions. Complete looks by adding in accessories and other details. Leave with the ability to capture great style with a pen and paper.
