I love art and fashion, so to meet the talented Megan Hess (below and who I am ashamed to say I had never realised was responsible for so many illustrations in fashion campaigns such as Chanel, Dior and Tiffany & Co) at a Hardie Grant-sponsored workshop * at Drink, Shop, Do was brilliant! We had an hour to come up with our own creations using the blank croquis she had created. The top tips I took away from the illustration masterclass were: Don't let your clothes cling too close to the croquis especially at the waist - to make it look more realistic Let the clothes flow Enjoy the flourishes and the frills Think about where the light is shining from Take in the creases along the garment Megan herself is a very elegant lady and I was fortunate enough to take a pic with her. Her book Fashion House is out now.
My desire? That you'll read something on this site that makes you say: "Ooh, that's useful", "That's interesting", "That's really helpful", "That's sooooo true" or "That's so inspiring" and enriches you somehow. That's "The BOOM! Moment" right there...
