Create trend-led fashion illustrations for magazines and advertising using mixed media techniques
When art and fashion meet, it's like fireworks. The result of this flashy combination is fashion illustration, which gives us dazzling depictions of trends, styles, and outfits from the catwalk. In this online course, explore this glamorous world alongside Lucia Emanuela Curzi, illustrator and art director who has years of industry experience working with magazines and brands like Vogue, Vanity Fair, Christian Louboutin, and Tod's.
Lucia Emanuela teaches you to create fashion illustrations using mixed media techniques, from watercolors and ink to pastels and collage. Develop your personal style and create a series of pencil sketches of a current trend. Then choose your favorite and turn it into a clean illustration with color and details. Get ready to fuse art and fashion to spark your inner creativity.
