My story, my pain...
  • In 2018, I didn't know how to draw and dreamed of finding simple and easy to follow lessons
    I really wanted to find a course that closed the fundamental questions living in my head

    ■ How can I improve my linework?
    ■ How do I draw my own ideas without copying other people's designs?
    ■ How to draw white and black clothes?
    ■ How do I draw my own figure? Not 8 or 9 heads, but any figure I like
    ■ How can I make money from sketching?
    ■ How to choose the tools in the store by myself? Not something specific on someone else's recommendation, but to choose it myself... What should I look for when choosing? How will it affect the result?
    ■ How do I fix mistakes?
    ■ How...?
    ■ How...?
    ■ How...?

    I wanted to find a course that would make me a professional, not just fun for the weekend

    I wanted to learn how to sketch and sell my works for $500, not be just another “no name internet artist”

    But I couldn't find any such courses...😞

    I had to spend a few years, pay $15,000 (70% for nothing) and gather the answers to the “how to” questions in small fragments from dozens of different sources. Mostly not from the fashion illustration field at all
  • After realizing how bad things are with fashion education, I decided to package my “my answers to how-to” experience into a course and give you a chance to take it ❤️
This course is for you..
  • If you want your sketches to look like mine
    ■ Gain thousands of likes ❤️
    ■ Bring hundreds of new followers 👤👤👤
    ■ Bring customers 🤑

    My experience is definitely for you

  • If you want to sketch your ideas quickly and professionally, even while sitting face-to-face with a client in the studio

    I have much to teach you

  • If you want to become skilled, paint elegantly and sell your works

    You will find a lot of “wow content” in this course 😍
This course is not for you if..
  • If you just want to sketch for yourself for a few evenings. Without developing the skill and without learning the logic of sketching

    My lessons are too informative, too professional and academic for you
This course is for you if…
You don't understand where to start
You have ideas and inspiration, but no clear step-by-step method (what’s step #1, #2, #3 )

If you want to become a professional
You have ambitions, but your skills are not good enough yet

If you can only copy, but not draw yourself
To sketch your ideas, you spend a lot of time looking for the most similar references as possible

If you feel limited
You can draw only the simplest and most boring ideas, but you can't draw what inspires you

If you're insecure to show your drawings to your family and friends
The drawings don't look good enough to be taken seriously

If your skills are slow to develop
You feel like you're slowing down and you're struggling to make progress
If you feel you have no talent
You do your best but you still don't succeed

If you draw slowly
When you draw, you are doing a work task rather than enjoying the freedom of creativity

If you need special conditions for drawing
You can't draw on inspiration anytime and anywhere: in a coffee shop, on an aeroplane, on the beach

If you are just a newbie
For example: last time you drew was 30 years ago in kindergarten

If you want to draw Fashion
You watch other people draw, look at my drawings and say to yourself "I want to do the same"

Why it doesn't matter
how you draw now
I have spent over 5 years improving the course, making it as simple, clear and visual as possible

Now the course is broken down into elementary mini steps that you will definitely be able to follow
How the training works
At the heart of any illustration is always a pencil sketch

No matter what medium we choose: markers, watercolours, ipad or something else, the quality and professionalism of the final work on 70% depends on the skill to draw with pencil

We might say that drawing is what pencil drawing is all about. And everything else is colouring
First we'll learn pencil drawing
Students' works. Pencil
Trial lesson
Watercolor is my favorite tool. And watercolor is also very easy, versatile, compact and accessible

On the example of watercolor we will learn to work with color. We will make bright and lively sketches

I will try my best to make you fall in love with watercolor

P.S. After learning to work with watercolor, you can draw with markers, pencils and digitally
Then we'll learn watercolor

Here's what some recent students have to say
  • "Dear Teacher Maria,
    35 days are over! I never thought I could develop my drawings and make them so perfect in such a short period of time. I remember before I started the online course
    my drawings weren't very good and I wasn't always satisfied. Since I started the online course, things changed and I started to notice a difference. I was constantly following your steps and enjoyed the lessons. They were very simple, clear, full of detail, well planned and easy to follow, which made me enjoy drawing. Yes! You made me fall in love with my drawings. It is my turn to thank you for all your efforts, help, support, advice and kindness. You accompanied me every step of the way on this journey, which I really appreciate and it shows what a good person you are. 😘❤️ "
