DIYs are good year-round, but especially where holidays are concerned. And with St. Patrick’s Day weekend, we’re in full force around here — everything from trendy outfits that you can wear to parties to green cocktails. But maybe you prefer (or someone you know prefers) drawing. Maybe one of you took our character illustration class and just couldn’t get enough. ;) Whatever your interests, we’ve got you covered in our CLASSES SECTION. If cartoons and characters tickle your fancy, head on over there and sign up for our FASHION ILLUSTRATION class.
In THIS FASHIONABLE CLASS, you’ll learn how to draw stylistic figures and poses, turn pattern and fabric images into illustrations, and create an art piece inspired by street style and fashion trends.
HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED:
- COPIC CIAO BRUSH TIP MARKERS (BLACK, GRAY, SKIN TONE, HAIR COLOR, & TWO COLORS FOR THE OUTFIT): “Ciao 24pc Basic Set. Scores of anime, manga, and comics artists as well as landscape, product, architecture, and fashion designers prefer Copic markers because of their ultra-blendable, low odor, alcohol-based inks. Unlike water-based inks, which tend to pill and oversoak the paper while blending, Copics mix on the surface to deliver the wonderfully rich blends they’re known for. This outstanding performance has distinguished Copic markers as the celebrated coloring tool within professional, semi-professional, and hobby circles alike.”
- FINE POINT BLACK MARKERS – SIZE 01, 03, 05 (MICRON): “When accuracy, minute details, and preservation count, the unparalleled archival quality of Pigma micron pens makes them everyone’s first choice.
