ABOUT FACES open until midnight Friday signup and start immediately- lifetime access to all the modules and ONE 45 minute video call bonus during this popup enrollment promo! #Repost @lauravolpintesta with @get_repost ・・・ How did I go from totally resistant to digital art to totally rebelling in it on my iPad? By keeping an open mind, trying, “tasting from the buffet”, not forcing it but playing with curiosity. And LOVE won the day. It took time to recognize the strengths and benefits of this medium and it also took time to get comfortable with it. But when anything becomes a medium for beauty, for brilliance, for expression and gives me the ability to create more efficiently without sacrificing my core values, what can I say???? (Well getting really messy and having a full-body experience creating my art IS one of my core values, but......) life calls for us to be fluid and flexible, rather than rigid. If nothing else in the entire world I’ve learned, it’s this. 🤣🤣. #digitaldrawing and #digitalpainting tools are demostrated in several of the Fashion Design Infusion Course Modules, along with everything else..... just Sayin’! And Fashion Infusion Course starts MONDAY........ just Sayin’! 💟 . 💟 . 💟 . #fashionillustration #fashionillustrator #fashiondrawing #fashiondrawing #fashiondesign #fashionista #fashioncourses #fashiondesignonlinecourse #fashioncourses #expressyourself ##artisyourbirthright #fashiontribalistas #adobedrawing #galadarling #pink #style #fashion #ipadartist #ipadapps #ipadart #drawingoftheday #digitalpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/ByZFY2MAya3/?igshid=b5dgncccbgey

You can also get creative with the tools in your #instagramstories!! Here I took a screen shot of the #croquis #fashioncroquis template in the freebie on my website (the templates come in #plussizefashion #juniorfashion and straight and posed figures in the back of my “100 Fashion Design Inspiration Prompts” download. ) Then I used the yellow filter first, followed by the pen and the marker and the sparkle tool to sketch up the #tutu and #fishnets designing this #partydress with #cutouts. Use the hashtag #Fabricandflow and share YOUR eveningwear/ #partywear designs in YOUR story or timeline! FABRIC AND FLOW is the name of my eveningwear design sketching online course, open to all levels.

While on the subject of AfroBrazilian culture (see yesterday's post) here is a group of #bridal designs i did as a Parsons student in 1993. Inspired by West #African #fashion i was all the time..... going to lots of #ghana festivities and always ogling the clothes. Even without the wonderful prints and oatterns i love, the #silhouettes, crisp fabrics and style of #africanfashion never cease to fascinate me. #fashioncroquis #fashionsketch #fashionteacher #fashionillustrationtribe #fashionillustration #fashionsketchbook #fashiontribalistas #fashionschoolonline @parsons_fashion
