This course is for you if…
You don't understand where to start You have ideas, inspiration, but no algorithm and understanding of what is 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"
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
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. 😘❤️ " - Marie D

How individualised work goes
1. You draw a fashion sketch. Draw it as you can 2. Send it to me. I analyze it and show you 1-3 key mistakes 3. You improve this mistake 4. Repeat the whole cycle again
In 3 months of this personalised training you will improve 30-60 of your weakest points
Individual work, part 2
You can ask me any question you want. Like... "How to become a designer?" "How to promote a blog?" "How to become a highly paid fashion illustrator?" "What tools should I buy my child for school?" "What can I save money on when learning?"
My every Thursday is dedicated to communicating with you and answering your questions in detail
Why it doesn't matter
how you draw now
I have spent over 4 years improving the course, making it as simple, clear and visual as possible
Now
100% of my engaged students (who do assignments) are moving to the next level of drawing
I think you'll be interested to know what my fashion sketching skill cost me:
• About $15,000 spent on tools, materials, courses and workshops, 75% of which turned out to be garbage (the saddest part is that at that time I was sure the problem was my "clumsy hands" and not the courses or tools) • 3 years spent practicing finding my way, preparing for serious study. All that time I was moving at random, trying to learn without understanding how, how and what to learn • 7 months of depression. I burned out many times, I gave up drawing and put it off for later. Because it was very hard to learn without a clear training program, on fragmentary workshops
I have a much nicer and more affordable offer for you
