I know you love the textures, shapes, and drama of special fabrics and pieces ... and, what makes a garment , design element, fabric, or occasion "special"???
How do you harness the techniques to represent shine, sheer, silhouette....?....fringe, feathers, fur and fuzzy, reflections, sequins, velvet, and more?
How do you bring them together and let your imagination run free and confidently sketch fashion designs?
...how do we capture drama! ?
HOW do we "tell a story" through design detailing, fabric, and styling?
What can you do to make your sketches stand out and really tell what's going on in draped gowns, sparkly embroidery, and precious details?
Sequins, glitter, sheer, velvet, feathers, high shine.... Which way do you go when you go "farther" and what will come out of you here?
Do you have 5 hours? 5 videos take you through the lessons,
plus homework to have you designing and illustrating with your new techniques right away.
Of course it will take more time because YOU ARE GOING TO COMPLETE EXERCISES AND PROJECTS IN HERE that bring you to a new place in your creative experience.
ps. ( I JUST ADDED A 7TH MODULE~)
I am with you for 8 weeks from July 1 in our private course area, supporting.
No matter where you are at in your development, these exercises are up-leveling you and taking you in over-my-shoulder for all of my illustrating and designing tips, insights, tools and techniques to make you want to sketch along through the whole course! You'll design and illustrate a unique line of special-fabric garments to put every new technique and process into practice, building your confidence through experience and experimentation, along with expert guildance.
I'll be urging you along to complete the projects, practices, design sketches and illustrations with an open, playful, curious courage.... the kind of attitude that brings about new discoveries within yourself and your experience.
I've even included journal prompts to anchor in this new self-knowledge and do the work to expand into the new edges you're experiencing!
I WANT IT ALL TO FEEL FRESH AND NEW FOR YOU- using new tools and approaches will "wake up" your fashion drawing and take you to a new level of self discovery and style evolution,
And I'm here for you to get you to that new level. There are the 5 + hours of video- 8 different modules plus our private course area for us to share, ask, coach, give and get feedback and support.

We'll discuss and explore markers, gouache, iPad/ Tablet illustration, creative design process, presentation of projects, and apps too.
