Fashion Drawing | Manual

This hands-on workshop explores the art of manual fashion drawing, focusing on expressive, clear, and professional hand-rendered illustrations. Open to those who draw for pleasure as well as students with professional aspirations, the course builds confidence in drawing by hand and strengthens visual communication skills. It is especially valuable for designers developing their own collections and for HSC Textile & Design students looking to refine their presentation and portfolio work.
