What's the course about?
In the course, we'll learn how to accurately capture the model's image. We'll pay special attention to conveying textures: airy lace, shimmering sequins, soft fur, and flowing silk - we'll create true "portraits" of each material!
Let's master the most "lively and dynamic" material - alcohol markers, as they give us speed, brightness, and the highest level of detail.
It'll be super useful to learn with me because I teach from scratch, starting with the basics! My goal is for every student not only to end up with beautiful artworks and enjoy the process (though that's definitely a big part of learning), but also to gain an understanding of the main principles and rules of fashion illustration. This way, you'll be able to create your own works from scratch, bringing your ideas to life on paper.
You'll master a solid foundation, which will make it easy to develop your own unique style later on!

Frequently Asked Questions
- I am a beginner. Will this course be suitable for me?
-
Of course, the explanations in the lessons are very detailed and clear. You can pause the video whenever necessary, watch it in parts, or several times. You will definitely succeed!
- How does feedback work?
-
At the end of the lesson, you will upload a photo of your work. The instructor will have the opportunity to leave a textual, graphical (notes on the drawing), as well as audio commentary on your work.
At the bottom of each lesson, there will be a comments section where you can ask any questions regarding the training.
- How long will the training take?
-
If you have a plan without feedback, everything will depend on your personal pace at which you progress through the lessons.
With plans that include feedback, we actively complete lessons for two months from the moment you «unfreeze» the course.
In general, I recommend taking the course at a leisurely pace. Enjoy the process more.
- I am an elderly person. Will I be able to do this?
-
Of course, anyone can master these practices. In our school, 30% of students are over 50 years old. And they happily draw, develop their skills, creative thinking, and feel younger in spirit and mind!
- What if I miss a lesson?
-
This training is different from traditional schooling - the lessons will always be available in recording, and you can arrange your training schedule as it suits you.
