Last week I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a Fashion Drawing Session by Would You Rock This.  Organized by Brandon Graham, and sponsored by the The Fashion Center, I treasure these opportunities to draw from a live fashion model.  As a bonus the garments worn by the model were from the latest SP'2013 collection by the one and only DVF!
You've probably heard me mention more than once how important it is to practice drawing as much as possible.  Developing this skill is MORE important than checking the latest trend on style.com.  Yes, I said it!  Focusing on developing your unique talent and skill through drawing is cumulative and no one can ever take this away from you.  As a student in Parsons by the same teachers that taught Marc Jacobs I was constantly reminded that Marc was never ever seen without a sketch book in hand.  He was constantly drawing and developing his talent, and I don't need to tell you where he ended up!   Developing your hand/eye coordination will help you not just drawing, but in your draping and patternmaking skill.  It's all about taking the time to stop, focus, and look.  What is your vision?  Developing your ability to communicate your skills with clarity and focus will be the determining factor in your ability to stand out.  What drives you?  How do you like to develop your Hand/Eye coordination?  Share in the comments below!
