Here’s what’s in it for you:
You’ll get access to the 11 sections of the course that will teach you the fundamentals of drawing clothes and using that knowledge to design. The course has over 10 hours of content that I will walk you through each step of the way.
Here is what to expect in this course:
* The course starts with the basics. I will be teaching you the basics about drawing shirts, dresses, skirts and pants. You will also learn how to color them in a simple way. When coloring, you can also put these basic clothes together to make a simple outfit. I will also be teaching you how to draw the main template before starting.
* Next, after learning the basic clothes, you will learn how to draw accessories from simple to complex to go along with your outfit.
* Once you've learned basic clothes and accessories, you will learn how to draw different types of shoes ranging from sneakers to formal shoes.
* Then you are going to learn how to draw simple clothes in different views and in motion. In this section you will learn how cloth moves and flows, as well as the direction it is going in.
* From then, you will move onto the basics of style ranging from casual, formal, and Lolita style. This will help you on how to study what different styles look like and how you can execute them onto your design. You will also learn how to collect reference for your 3 main projects.
* And finally, for the next couple courses, you will start working on the 3 main projects: designing 3 types of casual, formal, and Lolita. This will take you from just drawing basic clothes to actually designing how your outfits will look. I will be walking through with the whole design process from reference gathering to showing you how to use it, as well as finalizing the colors.
Over the course of these 9 sections you will learn:
* How to draw shirts, dresses, pants, skirts
* How to draw a multitude of accessories

* Drawing clothes in different angles
* How to color clothes, shoes, accessories
