Learning Objective

Master the skill of sketching figures at a professional level

To be able to draw any shape in 10-15 minutes, even without a reference

Who these classes are for

For fashion designers - the course is perfect for you because it was created for you.

For fashion illustrators - the course won't cover 100% of your figure drawing needs, but it will also be very useful and will take you to the next level of drawing!

For beginners - the course will give you a formed skill in figure drawing and show you what good drawing lessons are all about

Limitations
I also want to sleep, sunbathe, walk and draw for myself

So the number of homework slots is limited to 20

If we've known each other a long time, go through the course presentation and join
If you're new here and you don't know me yet, go to my Instagram and let's get to know each other :)

You will learn how to draw:
Standing and walking figures
Front view and back view
Static and dynamic poses

I'll show you a simple algorithm that I use myself

Using this algorithm you can play with the proportions and change them to your liking

You will be able to change the weight of the models you draw

You'll be able to draw a real plus-size

You will be able to sketch figures in different poses

The algorithm can be adjusted to any style of drawing:
You'll be able to draw in realistic, fashion, anime, pin-up, mariartrjournal style (that's me 😆 ) - whatever you like

You will be able to draw your own figure or the figure of your girlfriend, client, favorite model


*On your own figure it is best to visualize designs for yourself, for ordering at an atelier
*On the figure of my favorite models I like to design clothes for others

As a bonus, I will give recommendations on how to rotate the figure slightly (10-15 degrees)

We will not fully consider the topic “how to rotate the figure”

After all, the course was created primarily for designers, not artists.... And for designers “rotation of figures” is unnecessary information

As another bonus, I'll show you how to make live compositions from multiple models

You will also learn a very simple algorithm with which you would draw hundreds of different hairstyles. From Hollywood hairstyles of the 60's to modern hairstyles.

The program is designed for 1 month

BUT!

To make sure you're on time for everything, I'll be checking work and giving feedback for 4 months

1. The right tools

Did you notice that in all the artworks you saw on my website I use a pink pencil?

So...! Beginners should NOT do this and regular pencils should not be used either! Because it is several times more difficult to learn to draw with them

But with which tools learning will be easier and faster - you will learn in the first lesson of the course

2. Best classes

I've been teaching fashion sketching for 5 years now. And every year I improve the tutorials by correcting the places where students make mistakes

(I don't know anyone in the fashion industry with the same perfectionism about teaching)

3. Educational format

All drawing courses are divided into 3 formats

Marketing format. The results of the student do not matter, the main thing is to sell the course

Entertainment format. We draw something simple, repeating the teacher. The main thing is that it was not boring

Educational format. We listen to the teacher, understand how to draw, and then draw. The main thing is that the student learns

This course is educational!!!

4. Moving through the steps from simple to complex
..You can't learn to run without learning to walk
..You can't learn to draw a complex figure without learning how to draw a simple figure
..You can't learn to draw a simple figure without learning how to draw the individual elements (head, hands, knees)

I think the logic is clear

We're going to learn everything in the right order

5. At each step, I will analyze your mistakes and show you what you are doing wrong

Because even 1 simple mistake, made because of inattention, can ruin the whole figure

6. Motivation system
For every homework you turn in, you will receive a bonus from me

7. At the end, let's dive into the world of creativity
We will draw in different styles, sizes, proportions, formats... to consolidate skills and gain ease and confidence

"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. 😘❤️ "
