Do you struggle to get the actual sewn garment to look like your sketch? Then this class is for you.

Fashion Illustration is recognizable for its slim, tall, impossibly elongated bodies. In reality, not all of us look that way, and part of the fun in sewing our own clothing is customizing every bit of the way, including the sketching phase.

Personally, moving away from the classical tall, slim, fashion illustration and into a more “me-shaped” sketch has been a game changer when drafting and sewing the actual clothes I envisioned, because the sketch is closer to what it will actually look like on me, closing the gap from idea to reality.

This course is open to anyone who wants to explore fashion illustration / sketching in a simple, down-to-earth manner, whether you are a sewist creating their own clothing or a drawing rookie who sketches fashion collections for fun. 

For this course, I’ll be working with Procreate, but if you feel confident in another drawing app, by all means use those.

In this class you'll create a fashion template proportionate to your body, so you can then design clothes to perfectly fit you. 

You’ll learn:

• Using references to start a fashion figure template / croquis.
  


• Taking key body parts as guidelines for proportion.


• Adding style and customization to your unique template.


• Proportionately sketching clothes into your body template .
  


• Scaling prints for the sketch to look like the real thing.
