Important Information

What is the difference between our Fashion Drawing and Fashion Illustration short courses?

Our Fashion Drawing course is for students who want to learn how to draw a figure and how to draw clothes on that figure in order to be able to communicate their design ideas. This is a key aspect of the design process and if you are planning to go on to study fashion you'll be doing lots of this type of figure drawing. This course is suitable for the complete beginner.

Our Fashion Illustration course is a more conceptual course where students learn how to use different rendering techniques to create the impression of a design in a more artistic style or like that which would appear in a fashion magazine or in fashion media. This course is better suited for someone who has some experience of drawing and/or painting who is wishing to develop their own illustrative style.
