Fashion Sketching & Illustration

You know how valuable it is to be able to sketch quickly or illustrate with more care, yet the thought of picking up a pen or pencil scares the willies out of you? I can help. Start by downloading the free tutorial and a page of the body templates – it looks easy to get into because it is. Set a timer and play for ten or fifteen minutes, then go have a walk or a cup of tea. You’ll be surprised at how good you are, and how quickly you get even better.

If you’re working from a tablet or a smart phone, please consider going to your local library or office supply store for printouts of PDFs.

Note to print correctly: on the PDF printing dialog page, “Page Handling” box (center left), for “Page Scaling” select “None”.
