“ABOUT FACES”- digital fashion art course teaches you all about faces: front, profile and 3/4 angle.
I’ll teach you to draw features, eyes, hair, and head,…..
while ALSO teaching you some elegant, fun, imaginative and amazingly versatile APPS on your iPad or tablet to sketch them with!
I have always taught art and fashion sketching with gouache, watercolors, pencils, ink pens…. and still do!
When and why did I begin teaching and making digital fashion art?
Exactly one year ago, though, I started exploring apps on my new iPad to see what they were capable of for drawing and illustration.
I was skeptical and resistant and found a LOT OF APPS I DIDN’T LIKE AT ALL!
And then, I had a breakthrough……….
I found one single app that seemed to open the doors for me. It felt right– and so
I FELL IN LOVE with them!
(and I”m still in love with “old school art supplies” too! We use them in my Signature SOULFUL FASHION Foundation I mersion semester course.)
REASONS why I adore digital art apps on a tablet, iPad or device.
- digital fashion drawing is clean and bright
- sketching tools in apps are easy to erase
- drawing on a device is versatile than you think
- digital illustration is clearer when you share it on social
- different art apps have different capabilities…. some are very slick and clean, some are more “organic” and natural in feel.
- digital art doesn’t HAVE to look flat, stiff, or lifeless
- apps are elegant and inexpensive
- you can use your iPad to create art anytime, anywhere, with no mess and nothing much to carry!
- a stylus is NOT required
- you can zoom in on your work for detail
- it’s easy to sign, watermark, and resize your images for different purposes. (I’ll teach you how I use an app to create and use a watermark!)
