Today let’s hear from another alumni of Rongrong’s Fashion Illustration 101 course, Allison Fab!
Allison is a Confidence Coach for Entrepreneurs and a creator who took Rongrong’s course last year! She works with entrepreneurs helping them become more confident and comfortable being themselves, and also sells her art that focuses on the people she works with!
One thing that really drew Allison to Rongrong’s art was the representation presented in it. Representation is often times lacking in commercial art so it really caught her eye. Taking a page out of Rongrong’s book, Allison talks on how she would like to create more art that represents the people she likes to work with, specifically celebrating women in their 40s and 50s. Finding an untapped part of the market and something you are passionate about can be a huge key to your business!
Allison goes on to recount how she grew up loving art and drawing, but also is fascinated by business which really sold her on the fashion illustration course. It really gives you the best of both worlds.
A course for anyone?
While Allison feels that she was an intermediate in drawing, she was a beginner in drawing people. Rongrong makes the lessons so simple and approachable so that any art level could handle it. It is broken down to the point that nothing feels overwhelming. Even after developing her personal art style she still goes back to the videos as a fundamentals refresher.
Best part of the course?
There is a lesson at the end that walks the student through the process of taking a piece of art and turning it to a product. After sharing this with her son, Allison and him were able to take one of his own art pieces and turn it into a sweatshirt.
