Etta


I stopped off to visit my friend and fellow fashion illustrator Etta Shon who was doing a live sketching session at Bloomingdales in SoHo. Decided to turn the tables on Etta during her last sketch of the day and do a quick portrait of her. I think this was an 8 or 10 min sketch which I drew in the Procreate Pocket app on my iPhone. Drawing on such a small screen with your fingers—and so quickly!—makes my drawings look looser. But the lack of precise control combined with the effort to exert control makes it seem more fun and natural, methinks. .
