Summer sketching at The Drawing Club

...always great to be back at
The Drawing Club!

...and, the "The Drawing Club: Master the Art of Drawing Characters from Life" is now available!  Bob Kato, the creator of The Drawing Club, has written a wonderful book showcasing many of the artists who have gathered there since 2002, and the book includes lots of great tips on drawing.  I'm pleased and honored to be a part of it.

Really Quick Sketching at the Otis Fashion Show



...Every year the graduating seniors of the Otis College Fashion Department put on a show...not just a runway, but a fantastic full-on show!  The students work with all kinds of industry mentors...and the show really moves!  I sketch as fast as I can to try to catch something...a feeling or a silhouette, and added most of the color afterwards...



Tumbling and dancing kids start the show...
followed by Eddie Bauer sportswear envisioned for the future...



 Fashion inspired by the wonderfully
vivid colors of architect Luis Barragan...

...and the first time I've seen plus-size fashion featured in the show...Isabel Toledo for Lane Bryant...
