Description
This self-paced course provides a comprehensive learning experience in digital fashion illustration, focusing on the realistic rendering of fur and leather using Procreate and FashionDraw. By following a structured 19-session workflow (25 hours), students will develop both technical drawing skills and a deep understanding of fabric behavior, ensuring their illustrations accurately represent the textures and dynamics of these materials.
Through foundational lessons, step-by-step tutorials, advanced brush techniques, and assessments, students will gain the confidence to create high-quality, professional fashion illustrations. Whether learning sequentially or diving straight into tutorials, this course offers the flexibility and depth needed to master fur and leather rendering at their own pace.
By the end of the course, students will have the ability to illustrate fashion garments with realistic textures, bringing their designs to life with precision, depth, and artistic expression.
