Clothed Life

Fashion drawings are fun.  One of my favorite fashion illustrators is Rene Gruau.  He knew human anatomy and was gifted with amazing craftsmanship.   The exaggerations of the human proportions in his drawings and paintings aren’t boring – as is usually evident in many of the fashion illustrations these days.  In fact, I don’t understand why it’s ‘required’ to draw 10 or 12 heads long human bodies in fashion illustrators.  Why not just make the drawing interesting and appealing? Also, one should pay extra attention when models have their arms on their hips or stretch their arms pointing at something.  It’s almost inevitable that the arms will move.
