Learn Fashion Design and Drawing with Fashion Antidote

Drawing and illustration is at the heart of any designers work. Every master piece collection, It Bag or sell out garment started out life as a designers scribble in a sketchbook or a doodle on the back of a napkin.

You don’t need to be an artist to create fashion illustrations and designs – more important is inspiration and ideas. For every aspiring fashion designer the skills to convey your ideas onto paper are essential, and used throughout the research and design process. Our courses cover all the types of drawing a designer would need to do. They can be done for pleasure, to help you get your creative ideas on paper or to put together a portfolio of fashion art for work or college.
 
They cover materials and media, sketching, design drawing, fabric representation, creative illustration of clothing and accessories, technical drawing and portfolio presentation.

For beginners, looking to give fashion illustration a go we run a simple ‘BeginnersFashion Drawing and Illustration course, and a Beginners Fashion Designcourse. Perfect for that first foray into design and drawing, all materials are provided and no experience is necessary.

For those looking to tackle fashion design and drawing on a professional level, we run a SpecificationDrawing for Fashioncourse, including all the basics of producing technical drawings otherwise known as "flat drawings" or "specification drawings" as used within the fashion industry. Produce a set of templates and learn techniques of how to draw a variety of styles and shapes for a range of different garments and details such as collars, button wraps, frills and folds, great for helping you get your design ideas on paper if you are not adept at fashion sketching.


And for more professional level of training, we run a ‘Fashion Drawing and Design – industry level skills’. This course is a full compliment of fashion illustration skills, covering an intro to fashion industry and the fashion design process, and modules in Sketching, Design Drawing, Specification Drawing, Design development / Range Planning, and Line up and Specification Drawing.
