Eveningwear Illustration: Form and Flow Fashion Design Illustration Online course is here!
In my 25 years teaching fashion design and illustration portfolio on the college level, I’ve found there are generally two categories of students:
Some of you like to design ready-to-wear, or street clothes, athletic, outerwear, weekend wear, casual, “ladies-who-lunch”, whatever….
AND THERE ARE THOSE WHO LOVE DESIGNING and ILLUSTRATING EVENINGWEAR!
Drama, extreme, extra-special, one -time memory making gowns or showpieces- however you see it.
Bridal, red-carpet, evening gowns, bustiers and corsets, or even club-clothes…… single pieces or separates, but the important thing is that these clothes are EXTRA SPECIAL and some of you only see fashion in this way.
- Sequins,
- velvet
- charmeuse
- shine,
- tulle,
- sheer,
- metallic,
- pouf skirts,
- bias cuts
- circle skirts
- draping
- appliques
- leather
- embroidery and embellishments

- ruffles
- circus, festival and carnaval styles
- fringe
- Bridal
etc, etc, etc!!!
It’s up to YOU.
Meanwhile, for others of you, it’s a smaller part of your mix of fashion design aesthetics or offerings.
At any rate, it’s a POWERFUL addition to any fashion design or fashion illustration portfolio if its something you love to do.
WHAT MAKES IT EVENINGWEAR?
Eveningwear pieces often are shiny, or textured, or beaded, or feature extra-interesting fabric embellishments or trims, or very sculpted or exaggerated silhouette shapes or asymmetrical details.
They are usually as interesting from the back view as they are from the front. Stuff like that!
MY EVENINGWEAR FASHION DESIGN ILLUSTRATION COURSE gives you 7+ hours of instruction, plus bonuses.
Marker fashion illustration, digital fashion illustration and gouache fashion illustration are all covered, culminating in a creative eveningwear fashion design collection portfolio project!
This is why I love to launch Fabric Form and Flow course during the holiday seasons through to carnaval (nov-jan)

It’s called “Form and Flow”, and as usual, it isn’t a course that is purely about fashion illustration.
Yes, it focuses on art supplies ( both digital apps and analog ones like markers and gouache), because Fabric Rendering was the original point of creating it.
EVERY STUDENT wants that superpower to be able to create the drape and texture of special fabrics.
DON’T YOU? Here is your opportunity to focus on that.
We focus on illustration, drama, details.
But you’ll also get to explore your own designs and techniques in the adventurous spirit that Fashion Tribalistas have!
In Fabric, Form and Flow Eveningwear Illustration and design course, you’ll walk with me through my biggest tips to using tools from watercolor, to iPad/andoird apps, and markers, to understand the “universal truths” about capturing textures and fabrics.
How do you show shine and bling in your fashion sketches?
What can you do to make furry or fuzzy or iridescence, come to life on paper?
THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY and i’m here to show you that.
Are there tips you can use to bring fabric types, silhouettes, gathers and pleats “POP” and jump off the page?
Could your sketches be better than they are now?
always.
what an adventure.
Yep, all of that.
What if you could “get inside my head” and studio and learn what strategies I use to approach different shapes, textures, colors and designs?
How about if you took those strategies yourself to YOUR practice and come up with some fresh design sketches????
Your ideas would finally be out of your head.
I created this course for you, the action -takers!
You can also ask questions and share your sketches in the private course group.
Remember that you are welcome here: all levels, styles, body types, and points of view are encouraged.
