African Print Fashion Illustration

5 Part Video series plus bonus video at the end !!!

I’M proud to share this African Print Fashion Illustration Series on youtube with you.

But I am WAY MORE PROUD to share this instagram post from Artisan Apparel Uganda.

I cried when I read the caption. 

It’s a dream come true to be a part of something like this.

 

Ethical Fashion is everything.

Now I feel some connection between my love for fashion and why I’ve been called to it!

Have you see the movie the True Cost? It’s free on Netflix….check it out asap- excellent ethical fashion primer. Also search the hashtag #ethicalfashion!

Now here are the step by step TIME LAPSE VIDEOS of the illustration process from sketching to painting and rendering the beautiful African Print in the Fashion Illustration.

The time lapse video makes it easy for you to see the whole process quickly in just a few minutes.
