She tells us about the learning process:

I like to learn something new in the studies, as it is always interesting, and you expand your horizons. The video tutorials describe everything in detail, including the design of clothes and shoes, which helps to better understand how a particular thing should fit. It helps me to draw. The lessons helped me to learn better how to draw the proportions of a figure. All points are detailed and accessible. It was very interesting to learn how to depict the face, lips, nose in different ways. I didn't know about it before. And with pleasure I took more courses to learn how to draw the textures of fabrics and accessories.

She tells us about the learning process:

I always thought that when God handed out talents at birth, he gave all the drawing talent to my sister Yulia (she is a successful fashion designer), and I had nothing left.
When I tried to draw beautiful girls in fashionable clothes, I usually got crocodile women in princess dresses with hidden hands and feet 🙂
Everything was like this until this spring I started participating in the new course of our school “Fashion illustrator”.
I watched the first lesson of the Italian teacher and started to try. At first I doubted that it would work, but the teacher told everything at a very simple level: “draw a straight line, count 3 cm up, mark 2 cm down.”
According to the lessons, it turned out that even a bear can be taught to draw fashion sketches 🙂
In 20 minutes I drew a beautiful model figure of a woman. Although I never in my life would have thought that I could draw such a thing.
Then I tried to draw a portrait from the lessons, bought colored pencils, markers. In short it started 🙂
Then my mother joined me and also began to draw (although she was generally far from both art and fashion).
I like the simplicity of presentation in the lessons of Italian teachers, and the result is visible almost immediately. I listened for 10 minutes, repeated it and it turned out just beautifully.
It's great that you can try to draw with different techniques: colored pencils, a simple pencil, markers or paints.
Now my goal is to practice more, make a beautiful illustration and print it on my phone case. And then maybe a t-shirt.
In general, if you, like me, have always dreamed of learning how to draw fashion sketches, if you want creativity or just a hobby, I strongly recommend you to try this course. For me, fashion illustrations have now become a hobby. And I also noticed a very strange thing in me - it became more interesting to draw some clothes than just buy them.

She successfully completed the “Fashion Illustrator” course and presented us with her fashion sketches.

She tells us about the learning process:

I was interested in taking this course for myself, it was my childhood dream to learn how to draw clothing sketches, for which I am very grateful to you
