An entirelyiPad/ digital fashion drawing course! with Laura Volpintesta
About Faces is my go-to digital course
for learning faces by using fashion illustration apps.
DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS?
about the fashion Illustration tools that live inside your iPad or digital device (on app store or Google play)? Read the list, but take a deep breath- you do NOT need to use or know ALL OF THESE TOOLS. I‘ll teach you how you can learn one line and one color tool and maximize the full potential of using just one or two tools at a time!
In fact, most people who come to me are overwhelmed and miserable because there are TOO MANY OPTIONS so that’s what we’ll be tackling.
- pencils of all thicknesses and sharpnesses/sizes
- colored pencils in every color
- watercolors of various opacities and textures
- gouache is more opaque
- thick acrylics
- oil pants
- airbushes
- charcoal
- ink pens
- brush pens
- fiineline felt -tip pens
- ball-point ink pens
- chisel tip markers
- pastels and pastel pencils
- colored and textured papers
- cutout/ cutting shapes/collage
- tracing paper
- rulers, compasses, mirroring devices and rotation tools
- transparent LAYERS
- resizing features
- ZOOM in capability for fine detail
- ERASERS
- TIMELAPSE replay MOVIES and real time (depends which app you are using)
- HISTORY (go back in time)
- all tucked into a tiny portable device that sets up and cleans up quickly and easily anytime, anywhere!
- and so much more!
I am SO EXCITED to offer something so special for you to discover, since it represents my journey resisting fashion illustration apps, trying many, striving to find apps that could provide exactly what I needed to enjoy the experience, formulating a method that worked for me, and then creating the online course to explain it to others in a way that could get you to creating , discovering, and expressing your style with apps as smoothly and quickly as possible!
I cover 3 fashion illustration apps in the course, through learning 3 angles of the face, head, hair and features, and then diving into creative concept design sketching and free-form fashion illustration.
IN ABOUT FACES DIGITAL COURSE
We’ll work through the main tools, concepts and approaches to using my FAVORITE FASHION ILLUSTRATION APPS that i use and love, (and I’ve weeded out the ones that just don’t work).
In each prerecorded module, I share techniques, workflows, fundamental language and capabilites, and introduce you to a few different apps that contain full sets of art tools and papers, colors, and textures.
Each app has its own “flavor” that will bring out a different side of your ability and style.
Then, in our private course discussion space for members only, you can share, ask away, get feedback and guidance from me.
You’ll feel yourself gaining experience and confidence in this portable, flexible, incredible medium of freehand digital fashion illustration apps on your ipad, portable tablet, or desktop computer.
FREEHAND: means you are not clicking around with a mouse. You are moving, flowing and able to create in the moment WITH YOUR HANDS.
Why did I create this?
BECAUSE I LOVE THESE APPS!
And I love seeing students like you express your voice, vision and ideas while honing your own individual, personal approach, techniques, and style!
I love seeing and supporting what you do with your new knowledge!
I love watching you overcome bumps and blocks along the way, and discover that what you thought you couldn’t do, you can!
I’m excited to share with you the capabilities that you never quite imagined existed in your digital devices and endless outlets to use your creativity in the course.
If you’ve been with me a while, you’ll know that I love to dive deep with you and give you all i’ve got.
But as one of my Freedom Fashion stufents told me once…
“it isn’t just about skill, Laura. You make me feel like I can do anything. I’ve never done this before and I’ve amazed myself”.- Tatiana
MY GOAL IS TO OPEN YOU UP TO YOUR SUPERPOWERS.
You know you ‘ve got big expression inside waiting to come out.
If you’ve got doubts, fears, or insecurities, I’m here to create the space of safety, playfulness and intention that moves you into being the creative creator you may have only dreamed of being before.
Undoing doubts and fears and proving to you that you are worthy, able and powerful in this specific area of drawing and designing are at the core of what we do.
And we do it with humor, fun, and even child-like sense of curiosity, wonder, devotion and playfulness.
THAT”S WHERE THE MAGIC IS!!!!!
FAQ:
IS THIS CLASS ONLY FOR FASHION ILLUSTRATORS/DESIGNERS?
No. anyone who is curious about the capabilites of art supplies in drawing and painting apps is going to get a lot from this.
Anyone who wants to learn more about drawing clothes, faces, figures and create prints and patterns USING AN ART APP FOR FASHION ILLUSTRATION EFFECTS will love this!
I can’t wait to work with you to create sketches and collections from your imagination and research.

ps: in the timelapse video below, you can see how I built the croquis sketchbook page. I LOVE THE PLAYBACK ASPECT of digital fashion sketching!
How else do you get to watch your creative process unfold AFTER THE FACT? Priceless.
The set of sketches below holds the sketches and colors on separate layers
That gives me the freedom to play with various backgrounds, various color palettes and colorways for the dress designs themselves.
Not only that, but I build the figures first, so even the fashion croquis can be saved and important and dressed again and again and again (YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN WITH THIS).
Let’s go!
