Learn essential skills required by the fashion industry

Having spent over a decade implementing and training software technologies into fashion brands and retailers across the globe, I spent a lot of time working with the designers. Over the years there seemed to be a common theme in the design room - lots of designers were using Illustrator proficiently but many either couldn't use it at all or couldn't use it very well. They also didn't adhere to any drawing standards or best practises so had problems such as not being able to easily edit each other's drawings, create colourways quickly or create reusable components properly, making them inefficient.

Illustrator 4 Fashion training has been specifically tailored for fashion, with the needs of the industry in mind. The training can be taken by company design employees, freelance designers, fashion design students and anyone else looking to learn or improve their fashion drawing with Adobe Illustrator.

Course Overview

Most Adobe Illustrator manuals and online training courses are industry generic with many modules not relevant to fashion drawing. It can be hard to know which features to learn and how to develop techniques to draw professional fashion designs. Illustrator 4 Fashion only teaches you features and techniques relevant to drawing fashion flats, illustrations and garment components.

The Illustrator 4 Fashion course is split into 3 levels; beginner, intermediate and advanced. This level 3 advanced course is all about design productivity and efficiency and how to successfully communicate designs to the extended supply chain including buying and suppliers. Students will learn the final set of advanced tools and techniques to make fashion flats looks as realistic as possible as well as introducing some new panels to increase productivity in a professional environment. To aid design communication, this level also looks at how to use Illustrator to produce fashion illustrations, including how to utilise the tools to achieve realistic fabric drape over a figure.

From a professional workflow perspective this level also details how to produce the supporting documentation, such as design cards and colourway sheets, needed to communicate designs to colleagues and suppliers. Finally, students will learn how to optimise Adobe Illustrator files for integration into other supporting product development systems and how to address compatibility issues with legacy versions of Illustrator

Every lecture includes supporting Illustrator work files so that students can follow the lecture exactly.

The class is very informative however, not having all of the libraries and style sets makes it difficult to follow along on some of the tutorials.

Sehr gute und verständliche Erklärung. Konnte schon einige Tipps im Job anwenden, die das Tempo beim Arbeiten mit Illustrator erhöhen und Schritte vereinfachen.

I learn better with subtitles and the subtitles for these videos are not really accurate with what the teacher is saying. I'm not too sure if this is an error with Udemy.

Even though I have used Illustrator for fashion drawing all through my fashion bachelor and Master's degree, it is uncanny the amount of things this course has teach me, I can assure I have not gone through a video without learning something new

This course was really excellent and was exactly what I was waiting for in this series. The instructor is extremely patient in reminding you of all steps needed repeatedly which is wonderful. My only concern was there was not enough information/reminder to save your work. Also I posted a few questions and never received responses.

As the previous two courses, this course consisted of practically useful materials and clear instructions. I found the additional tools and techniques to be greatly valuable. The workshops further gave me more chances to practice and develop better AI skills. The lectures on communication and collaboration were eye opening for me. They presented a good opportunity to learn and understand other important AI-based professional skills. Having gained the skill and knowledge I expected to learn when I signed up, I am very pleased with the course. Thank you very much, Ms. Hughes, for your passionate teaching.
