If you were given the chance to do one thing for the rest of your life every single day, what would it be?
If your answer is drawing and fashion design, welcome to Fashion ARTventures !
The blog is where you can finally get complete guidance for your dream career in the fashion industry. Share your thoughts on style, fashion, and art with those who have the same interests as you do.
THE SECRET OF FASHION ARTVENTURES?
My name is Michaela Koleva. I’m a licensed architect and fashion-addicted artist. As a self-taught artist, I created this blog to help people aspiring to be fashion designers, fashion illustrators, or creative entrepreneurs.
The idea behind the name came up with the first feedback from people who watched my portfolio on YouTube. They wanted to know how I’ve learned to draw fashion illustrations realistically and how they can achieve the same skill level.
“If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you.” – Fred DeVito
There you go, the secret is to challenge yourself and be adventurous with every single drawing! You can grow your skills and knowledge step by step to a professional. Challenges are what change us and help us improve.
The simple formula I follow:
FASHION ART + ADVENTURES = FASHION ARTVENTURES
Many beginners can benefit from my unique techniques because I’m a self-taught artist and fashion illustrator. So I started making tutorials on YouTube and showing people how they can improve their drawing skills by following a few simple steps.
If you’re aspiring a career in fashion but you’re a complete newbie and on a low budget, you’re in the right place.
There’s no getting around the fact that you need a portfolio to apply to a fashion school or to find clients as a successful freelance designer. And if you’re just getting started, you don’t have thousands of dollars sitting around to pay someone to teach them all techniques of a good presentation.
No drawing skills are required!
You can prepare a beautiful and professional fashion design portfolio without having excellent drawing skills, as long as you watch my video tutorials, follow my techniques, and ask questions in my Facebook group.
