It´s amazing how some people can just whip out incredible illustrations in only a few minutes.  Contestants on the show Project Runway for example, get just 30 minutes or less to think about and sketch out their designs.  It must take a lot of practice and skill to be able to do that.  Apart from sketching for hours on end, is there a faster way to become the next big illustrator for Vogue magazine?   It turns out that there is.

The Australian Institute of Fashion Design has a Fashion Illustration and Portfolio Development course to help you realise your dream.  It is designed to improve your fashion drawing and illustration skills, using various rendering mediums (graphite, charcal, paint, etc.).  Students will also learn how to professionally layout a portfolio, using techniques to enhance the design’s impact, communicate a design theme or story and create a flow through.

The following is a list of some of the topics that will be covered in this short course:

* Creating Fashion Stories
* Colour Schemes
* Using fashion figure templates/croqui
* Understanding the fashion figure proportions
* Using Various Rendering Techniques and Materials
* Mixed Media Techniques to Create Visually Stunning Presentations
* Using Watercolor Pencils, Gouache and Watercolor Paints, Pantone Marker Pens, Graphite and More
* Creating Different Illustration Styles

Your successful career as a fashion designer awaits you!
