Pleats

I drew some pleats, as promised.

Christmas fabric & folds.

Folds

I've been drawing every day. Have you? You HAVE?? Great! Don't tell the others, but you always were my favorite. And the best looking one. If you get a chance, post them, OK?

The 1830's Gay Men's Pub Crawl Association wants to know: What do you want to learn?

Getting Started

So, you want to learn to draw better costume renderings. You are fortunate enough to have people willing to teach you. Lex and I will create assignments that will challenge you and improve your skills during the spring semester. If you draw every day, you WILL get better. We will meet in the beginning of the semester to figure out how often we want to get together and how this will all work. SO plan on the first thursday of the semester to meet during common hour in the costume shop. Get your art supplies ready and post something you've already drawn here and indicate any areas you'd really like to focus on (draping, clothes on the body, watercolor, marker, highlighting, fabric rendering, etc.). We'll come up with your first project for you to bring to the very first meeting. You are all advanced drawers so don't expect it to be too easy!
