Dress Up and Draw!
Zoe Parker Illustration- that’s me- sitting on top of a pink suitcase. The suitcase is packed with clothes ready for the first Dress Up and Draw workshop with Art For Life. Clothes are taken from my own archives, and from my son’s Vinted haul.
The workshop is about learning the basics of fashion illustration and then drawing each other dressed up in the clothes provided.
This blog is all about what happened at my first workshop- did people dress up? Did they draw? What’s coming up next?
