Fashion Art

Recommended Lesson Order
Whether your interest is in designing for women, men, tweens, infants, toddlers or older children, it all starts with learning how to draw the fashion croquis. A fashion croquis is a rough sketch used as the foundation in fashion drawing and presents a slightly elongated figure compared to real life body proportions. Start by mastering our “Female Frontal pose”, “Drawing Female Walking Pose” and “Drawing Female Head: Front, Profile & Three Quarter”. Then move to our “Female Contrapposto pose” lessons.  Next, learn to draw the male figure with “Drawing Male Contrapposto Pose”, “Ink Drawing the Male Fashion Figure” and “Ink Drawing Male Fashion Face”. Finally, learn to draw young people with “Ink Drawing Tween Boy”, “Ink Drawing Tween Girl” and “Drawing Children – Infant & Toddler”. Then you’re ready for our Intermediate section, or even our Computer Assisted Design (CAD) fashion art lessons.

Our Intermediate Art lessons will teach you to hand render your designs. Each lesson comes with a free downloadable croquis template and swatch so that so that you can follow along with the instructor. We will also teach you how to find your own sketching style. Your sketching style “brands” you and sets you apart from other designers. After mastering at least 6 of our  Intermediate lessons, move on to our Advanced lessons.
