Fashion Illustration Workshop with Alison Teece UKs
In this workshop you will be learning how to draw fashion illustration drawings. Under the careful guidance of Alison you will be shown how to draw pleats, collars (both dress and tailored styles), folds, gathering, draping, figure hugging as well as modern and contemporary silhouettes (such as high/low asymmetrical designs).
Alison will provide you with a variety of templates such as Fashion Croquis templates to help with fashion sketching drawings.
This is an amazing skill to have when trying to visually communicate your designs with others.
You will leave with at least 1 A3 page of a small collection of your designs and will have the skills to continue practicing your illustration techniques at home.
