Mixed-Media Fashion Illustration

“During the lessons I taught you all the secrets to create a fashion illustration with mixed media, now it's your turn! Follow these basic steps to complete your project. Don't just copy my example, but experiment and invent something new. In this way, you will learn to independently apply the techniques I taught you and you will give more space to creativity. The moodboard Before you start designing your illustration, take the time to create the mood board. In this sector it is very important to have a broad visual culture, so I suggest you constantly update yourself in the collection of inspirations.

The last touches Finally, work with line and light, trying to balance the elements of the illustration. Now share your project in the forum! Show everyone both the final result and the processing steps, documenting each step with an image and describing what you did with a brief explanation. As soon as possible, I will be happy to comment on your work. Look at the projects of colleagues and encourage them by commenting on what they have shared: do not miss the precious opportunity to interact with the creative community. Thanks again for making this journey with me!”
