Drawing clothing - In Person Workshop With Derek Leka
Ends: 12:30pm
This drawing workshop will focus on clothing, folds, textures, patterns, and lighting. You will draw straight to full strength color using colored pencils. We will look at cloth draped over objects paying attention to compression, wrinkles, fabric sags, and to its movement in relation to the object underneath. I will have a variety of colored, and patterned fabrics for us to work from, as well as high key lighting, low light, and colored light.
