An exercise in gouache paint, minimalism, and negative space.

One of the things I love most about teaching fashion illustration is that it forces me to use every variety of media in existence.  It also forces me to be ok with whipping up drawings in a matter of minutes while surrounded by a group of people.  What never ceases to surprise me is that the drawings of mine that seem to be the most popular are those quickly whipped-up demos – never mind the drawings I’ve thought long and hard about and spent time producing.  Sheesh!  It’s enough to make me see red.
