A Comprehensive Step-by-Step Course for Creating Beautiful Fashion Illustrations with Artist’s Markers
Welcome to Fashion Illustration with Marker Rendering for Beginners
If you want to learn how to draw women’s fashion figures with artist’s markers, you’re absolutely in the right place! Even if you’ve never sketched a fashion illustration before, we’ll start from the very beginning and work our way up to illustrating three complete runway fashion figures.
In this course, we’ll cover how to find inspiration and which materials work best. You’ll learn how to sketch a basic fashion runway figure and utilize various marker techniques to render multiple patterns like florals, gingham and leopard + textures like shine, denim, and fur. We’ll go over how to illustrate fashion details like faces, hair and difficult-to-draw hands and feet. In the latest course update, we’ll even dive into variations on the basic runway pose and create our own fashion croquis to represent different body types and sizes.
We’ll break through that frustrating “ugly phase” together and land on the other side where you feel confident enough to keep practicing and working towards developing your own illustration style.

About Author
Hi there! My name is Joanna
I’m a professional artist living in New York City with my husband and our cat, Junebug. I have a passion for illustrating and creating beautiful things, and I love encouraging others to pursue their own unique creativity.
Since leaving my corporate fashion design job in 2015, I’ve turned my illustration hobby into a multi-faceted creative business – running my illustration shop, creating commissioned artwork, licensing my illustrations and now teaching others how to create their own beautiful work too.
My journey into teaching began with Instagram, posting work-in-progress videos and sharing mini drawing tutorials on YouTube. After getting lots of requests for more in-depth instruction specifically geared towards beginners, my first online illustration course was born.
I’m eager to share all of my best marker illustration secrets with you so that you can skip past the wasted time & frustration and begin sketching what you love!
