Fashion illustration is an exciting up-and-coming genre of illustration. There is an explosion of creativity in the industry and many illustrators take inspiration from fashion runways and editorials to create striking visual expressions through drawing and painting.
In this course, fashion illustrator Connie Lim teaches you how to combine traditional drawing techniques with a more experimental approach using mixed media to create exciting fashion illustrations. Using an editorial reference as a starting point, Connie guides you through the process for achieving the perfect pose and styling for your illustrated fashion figure.
