CAD Fashion Art

Our Computer Assisted Design (CAD) art lessons were created for the fashion designer, fashion merchandiser and product developer/technical designer. You will learn how to use Adobe Illustrator® for Flats and Adobe Photoshop® for Surface Design. Our Adobe InDesign® lessons will enable you to create line sheets and your portfolio.

Recommended Lesson Order
We recommend mastering our beginner hand-drawing-based Fashion Art lessons before you tackle these CAD fashion art lessons. Our hand-drawing art lessons will help you to understand the proportions of the human body and familiarize you with the sorts of styles and body types other designers, clients, customers and retail buyers expect to see. Our CAD lessons utilize Adobe Illustrator®, Photoshop® or InDesign®. You can subscribe to these apps from Adobe’s cloud-based service, Creative Cloud. Click here to view their pricing and plans.
