Who wants to be a wedding illustrator? 

I do!

We devote ourselves to our art. Drawing daily. Practicing figures and diligently attending life-drawing sessions in-person and online. We struggle to get to grips with drawing fabric and folds, proportions, composition, gesture and atmosphere. But what's it all for? Where do we get to show off our finely honed skills?

Well what could be more of a test of our drawing skills than drawing the BIG DAY itself.

Not only do you take part in people's celebration of joy, but you also put yourself in a high pressure situation, drawing guests, drawing the bride and groom  and maybe illustrating wedding speeches - all the time under scrutiny and subject to other peoples expectations of our work. 

🍾 unBRIDALed AMBITION💍 - A Drawing Engagement For Aspiring Wedding Illustrators - With 👰‍♂️ MARA & JACQUELINE BISSETT🎨🥂⚡️

Wedding illustration is a growing industry that tests an illustrator's skill to the max . Wedding illustrators are rewarded handsomely (have you seen how much wedding photographers charge for pointing and clicking?) - but this is not an art venture for the faint hearted.

How do you become a Wedding Illustrator?

If you have never illustrated a wedding before (like me) it is hard to know how you will you meet THE ONE - your first wedding.  When will you tie the wedding illustration knot?

I have sketched at events before, and even put up a website for my live event services. However I have no wedding illustrations to showcase my skills  in this area. I flicked through a bridal magazine - drawing inspiration from these sources is a great idea - and maybe the brands featured in the magazine would like my illustrations. But there must be another way to get my wedding drawing skills up to scratch.

And this is where Dropdead Gorgeous Drawing comes in - curating bespoke art inspiration so you can draw wedding themed illustrations for your portfolio and website  and get to that first magic moment. Or if you are already a dab hand at wedding illustration you can always renew your vows with this this special life-drawing experience.

Join us for a special occasion which will cause event and fashion illustrators alike to revel in delight. In this Monday Special iconic art muse MARA will model a stunning wedding gown replete with flowers and vows. And to complete the day Mara will also take on the guise of the groom and guests
