Course overview

Fay introduces fashion illustration through figure drawing, pose and watercolor. The course connects the structure of a fashion figure with an expressive rendering rather than aiming at a technical garment specification. It provides a compact creative exercise sequence for presenting an idea visually and exploring the effect of different art materials.

What you will learn

  • Develop introductory fashion figures
  • Explore expressive poses
  • Use watercolor within an illustration

Who this suits

A fit for an aspiring fashion illustrator who wants a short creative introduction and is comfortable practising with paper, pens and watercolor or suitable alternatives.

Before you enroll

The provider lists example art supplies while allowing learners to use preferred materials. About 59 minutes of video are listed, updated November 2018. Supplies are separate. An expressive illustration communicates mood and silhouette, but does not replace measured flats, pattern specifications or construction details needed to make a garment.

Udemy offers paid purchase or subscription access depending on the current course and region. Paid teaching courses provide completion certificates under Udemy’s policy. Check current access terms and any separate software or material costs before enrolling.

Put it into practice

Draw the same original outfit in two poses and render one with a limited color palette. Compare which version communicates the silhouette most clearly and which details would need a separate technical drawing.
