I bought three fancy copic pens, so my palette is very limited. Tonight I tried with a croquis, which is basically a mannequin you use to guide you. I look forward to using the pens more effectively and learning how to get the perspective of the clothes correct when the body is not facing the viewer directly.

Today i tried to start to learn how to sketch clothes. I have a lot of trouble with faces, arms and legs. Not even going to mention hands and feet but I pleased with my first efforts and felt I had improved a bit. The big ball gown was one I copied from a pattern i have but you can see i didn;t trace it. I will work on improving the limbs.

“ If history is to be creative, to anticipate a possible future without denying the past, it should, I believe, emphasize new possibilities by disclosing those hidden episodes of the past when, even if in brief flashes, people showed their ability to resist, to join together, occasionally to win. I am supposing, or perhaps only hoping, that our future may be found in the past’s fugitive movements of compassion rather than in its solid centuries of warfare.
