What's in Premium?

In this lesson, we shift our focus from plotting individual folds to using costume and shape language to tell a compelling story. We look at film history to see how costume designers use clothing to show a character's arc. Using The Godfather as an example, you will learn how to analyze the progression of a character's wardrobe. We look at how rigid uniforms, flowing dresses, and color choices reveal a character's psychology.

Instead of worrying about perfect proportions or detailed rendering, we focus on loose thumbnail studies. You will see how to compare big shape designs, textures, and silhouettes. This helps you create a character lineup that visually communicates their journey. This approach gives you the tools to design costumes that actually mean something to your audience.
