In this week’s “Chocolate Box” Creative Fashion Illustration class, I thought I’d present the challenge of drawing a face from a more challenging angle, but not just in one way – in two ways plus let’s throw in some distracting reflections on some big glasses! Our work was cut out for us but of course the students pulled off amazing work. I began with a warm-up exercise where we drew the image, line only, in a completely different different way to how we normally draw. The only way to do it was to switch on the right side of the brain and OBSERVE, be present, and see the plains. The planes! What did they find when they got to the main drawing and were free to approach it in their usual way? The results of the warm-up were better.
My work here is done.
