Instructor: Taryn Lee
April 20 to June 22
Wednesday 2:00 PM- 4:00 PM
In this course, students will learn how to create expressive fashion illustrations using a variety of media and how to combine certain media for different techniques. We will cover a brief introduction into the History of Fashion Illustration and Illustrators, classic proportions of the Fashion Figure, how to create dynamic fashion sketches, how to select and use reference photography, rendering clothing, materials and textiles, and creating eye-catching compositions with multiple figures. Depending on time, we can explore how to render patterns and prints as well as accessories like shoes, hats and bags. Students will be encouraged to work from fashion reference photos that appeal to their own personal style and aesthetics when completing project sketches. Mini projects will take place over 2 classes, so students will have a few completed illustrations by the end of the course.
