The mens’ cape is undoubtedly one of the coolest pieces of clothing ever invented. It’s been around since the middle ages in Europe, when knights would wear them into the battlefield. The utility of the heavy cloak (a very long cape) was rediscovered in the 19th century, when they were worn to keep [...]
A good friend of mine recently asked me why I draw only ladies fashion. Good question..? The end result of the conversation was that I should start drawing fashion for men, because it would be cool (and give some ideas for men on how to dress.) Aside from the generic ‘how to [...]
The bad news: I didn’t update for quite awhile. The good news: My scanner works again! I resurrected the software. Sort of. That means tons of sketches will be uploaded to my blog from now on. I did this sketch in class and coloured it at home.. Not much [...]
