HERE”S YOUR EBOOK:!!!
TRY MODEL DRAWING!!
While my model drawing course MODEL MAGIC is very loose and experimental, I also offer up right-brain guidelines to "orient you" to the experience of "BUILDING A BODY" on the paper.
Here it is, customizable for any body type by adjusting the widths.
ONE OF MY GOALS is to change the way you think about and see your drawing process so that you can break free from what’s making you feel stuck. For that reason I created this innovative mini-course “everything but the girl”, I call it. Just $35
RESOURCES RESOURCES: delicious fashion design books you'll use again and again!
Let me tell you all bout them in the video below
Whether you are interested in becoming more free, yet detailed and expressive in your art,
becoming a knowledgeable and experienced Fashion Illustrator working from the ground up…
or an aspiring fashion designer wanting to know what fashion students learn in fashion schools (from a 20 plus years Parsons Fashion professor, author and designer/illustrator who LOVES to encourage you and bring out your voice ON YOUR SCHEDULE and at your pace),….
other students who come to me are already designers who are having a hard time communicating design specifics with their teams.
if any of these are you,
Then you are in the right place to go deeper.
