Fashion Week Fall 2010 Sneak Peek Sketches
So I always thought I was good at drawing until I walked into Fashion Drawing 101 my first semester at Parsons. Our professor's name was Roxie Sugar which she "derived" from her real name Pamela Sliger- don't ask. She had great personal style, bursting with energy, and her own line to boot. Despite her positive disposition (and the fact that both our names were Roxy), she could only feign so much enthusiasm when flipping through my sketchbook. I think the best I got was, "Excellent! Great command of angles!" Not too bad right? Well, you should have seen the look on her face when I had to tell her that the only sketch she actually deemed acceptable was one of her own, one that she had drawn to demonstrate to me how it should be done. Don't worry, I let myself bask in her praise for a minute before I reluctantly broke the news, after which she exclaimed, "OH! No wonder I like it!" Priceless.
When it comes to being creative, I believe practice only gets you so far. Either you have it or you don't. She had it, and I'm okay with the fact that in that moment I definitely did not! Here are some Fall 2010 Sneak Peek sketches from people who SO HAVE IT.
