Sew you want to color like a Fashion Designer

Sew you want to be a Fashion Designer. My fashion design coloring book ,is ready for you to color. Single pages are ready for you to download now, one at a time for only $1.00. You can download as many as you want. Buy at least 24lb paper to print in a 9×11 size The art on the left of this screen  is the cover of my book. The other photo here is one of the pages.  I will be selling my book soon on my Etsy site, in boutiques and the Artist Guild of St Louis, of which I am a member. I Know I have been writing about this book for a while now but I have taken time to get it right. Since I have started this process many more coloring books for adults have come out.If you are old enough to remember the color by number art come into the market place for wanna be artists. There are now some of that type of art being sold again today. Many people studied art as a child and gave it up as an adult. Have some fun and try again!! Now my medical plan is suggesting coloring for serenity and peace. This is something I have always known. Most artists know this also. If you are enjoying what you are doing in the present it is hard to take on other problems in your life. I am a professional Fashion Designer, have been for over 40 years . I still like to sit down and sketch and still take classes in painting and figure drawing.

As a designer I observe how people wear their clothes and critique how they might change to appear in balance in their wardrobe. More suggestions about the appearance of clothing on your body are included in some of my other blogs.  More articles about the Elements and Principles of garments .

Now lets enjoy trying to draw a Design. Before you learn how to do that I suggest you give a try  my Fashion Coloring Book and have fun with it.After you color one of my sketches try to copy it on another piece of paper. You might be surprised how good your sketch looks. All the art in my book is original by me and cannot be reproduced, but that cannot stop you from copying my art for your own enjoyment. Try turning my sketch upside down and copy. Your preconceived notion as to how a sketch should look is taken away from you when you do this. I often taught my students this assignment . They loved the way their sketch turned out and realized we all have ideas as to how a sketch should look when it is of fashion figures.  You can get there by checking the end of this blog . Click the Etsy symbol at the end of my web page,johannafashiondesign.com Here i a sample of my coloring book pages  It is in an 8×10 format, a size many designers sketch in. I think you will have fun with it.
