Welcome to Level One of my signature "boot camp" course: FASHION ILLUSTRATION TRIBE MASTERCLASS:
in STEP 1: Model Drawing and Exploring Art Supplies, Building the Straight Standing Figure for Fashion
- learn to find therange of expression in your artist pencils and ink pens
- learn to create a customizable, adjustable, lively and proportionate figure for design and illustration

WHY? Being able to sketch/create a body (and you can use my printable templates as well) is the foundation for your design drawing.... either sketching onto a template, or posing dynamic figures... it's both a pleasure and a POWERFUL way to communicate your ideas.
