MODEL DRAWING MAGIC FIGURE DRAWING MASTERY COURSE
You love fashion, you want to create beautiful images and art, and “YOU CAN’T DRAW”, especially FIGURE DRAWING. Perhaps you’re even terrified.
but, dear love, don’t give up–you haven’t had a chance yet!
You haven’t had the support, you haven’t had any guidance or personal space to really unfold this way.
It doesn’t seem fair!
You recognize the beauty and harmony and flow of figures, fashion, costume, poses and expressions.–
you feel it, it lives and breathes inside you and it feels like an accident that you can’t access it to make your own creations.
I KNOW THAT YOU CAN DO THIS.
And i feel it’s so important that I created MODEL DRAWING MAGIC to go deep beyond the surface details of our fashion model drawings and tune into the flow, energy, experience and dynamics that bring our personal style and expertise to the fore!
But you can learn to be fluent in drawing the fashion figure
You just need to start where you’re at. WHERE YOU’RE AT IS ENOUGH.
You’re in good hands!
I was someone who doodled shapes her whole life and I
“couldn’t draw” things that I wanted to, like realistic things or anything.
(read on, or check out this video to learn more about why you struggle with drawing and how you can make new strides and finally draw in a new way to increase your confidence and experience! I ll show some specific examples and concepts)
IN MODEL MAGIC ALL SIZE FASHION FIGURE DRAWING BOOTCAMP
IN MODEL MAGIC ALL SIZE FASHION MODEL DRAWING BOOTCAMP
You’ll get a new figure drawing exercise each week.
Try each one, using the videos I supply you with that are LOADED with (mostly) standing figure poses to immediately put your skills into practice.
I guarantee you will learn to see and draw in new ways and find yourself at a whole other level drawing figures.
You’ll be taken to RUZUKU, the secure site that hosts all of my courses and programs since we launched in2013.
You probably cringe when you look at your own drawings…. I KNOW THIS FEELING SO WELL…
Forget about learning to draw figures.… you may not even know how to DRAW at ALL, and that’s fine!!!
The human body can seem overwhelming/ daunting to draw because there are so many moving parts. and fine details.
Being hard on yourself is probably the biggest obstacle to, but I’m pretty great at dispelling that energy.
Likely, you never GOT A CHANCE to crush through the wall to getting your inner creative voice outside of your head and onto paper.
YOU CAN CREATE BEAUTY and beautiful Figure drawings!
You’ve been feeling hopelessly stuck about this, but there’s hope:
1) the human figure is one of the single most inspiring and beautiful expressive things you can possibly draw
2) the tremendous amount of inspiration fuels your desire to progress and get real results
3) once you have gotten a handle on the human form, you’ll be able to draw ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING with more ease and accuracy!
4) through learning figure drawing, you are really learning all drawing
5)you’ll learn how fashion artists and designers see their art supplies and processes, which is probably different than you’ve been seeing it
6) you’ll change the way you see yourself in relation to art and design
7) you’ll change your beliefs about how art is made
8) you’ll get new insights and exercises in every single module. Each one builds intentionally and grows you into the next
9) THESE ARE NOT BEGINNER-SPECIFIC EXERCISES. I believe in diving right in at a high level of rich material. These exercises are so effective for beginners, but I STILL ENGAGE IN THEM TODAY because they CONSTANTLY feed my processes and remain relevant. One thing I can tell you about them is that they will always MEET YOU WHERE YOU ARE AT AT YOUR NEWEST EDGE.
10) Each one of these model drawing techniques/ exercises/methods becomes embodied: they live inside you and are like a toolbox that you can reach into every single time you engage in fashion illustration.
And here in my world, fashion figure drawing is about feeling, style and skill, it is NOT about distorting the body to have extra-long-everything.
It’s about line, proportion, dynamics, composition, form, shadow, texture, light, feeling, movement, ideas, structure, angles, curves………
Are those words almost frightening?
I’m saying that because I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN, if so. But they will all take on meaning for you, one by one, as you come on this model drawing for fashion course journey with me.
So join me for bite sized exercises— that build intentionally until you are EXPERIENCED
and to make your discoveries
And shine.
***THIS COURSE will focus on figure drawing leotard models and drawing exercises, not focusing on details in the clothing*** when you’re done you can continue in Fabric Form and F.low or even join our weekly Fashion Sketch Group to dive right in to sketching gorgeous garments and poses!
I think getting to know the figure well first is crucial and transformative.
I want to help you! I adore this!
I’ve been teaching for 27 years in one of the world’s top fashion design programs, and I KNOW you have this in you and can help you.
FAQs:
Q: what’s the format?
Sign up in the Ruzuku platform. Each day you’ll get an email notice so you can link right in to the new daily video exercise, beginning on September 20 (the day after my BIRTHDAY!)
Q: Do I need any supplies?
A simple pencil and paper can take you through the course, but i will be using and recommending other tools you can add to your kit, as well (and links to find them) . Even if you don’t have them yet or never get them, you’ll get the IDEA by seeing them in action and you can still use your pencil to do every exercise.
Q: What’s the refund policy?
I don’t offer refunds, but nobody has ever asked me for one. You will be getting killer content from day one and far outweigh this investment. You’ll be learning top level art and design techniques for a lifetime of use, as well as taking bold strides that will deeply change the way you draw and approach art.
