More expression in every stroke

Drawing people live asks you to make decisions quickly: what to capture, what to leave out, and how to suggest a person without getting lost in detail. The brush opens up a different way of working, with marks that can move from delicate lines to bold shapes.

In this two-hour session, Jacqueline explores the mark-making potential of brushes for fashion and event illustration. Follow her approach, explore the tools and take ideas into your own drawing practice.

  • Brush shapes: explore stripers, liners, fans and sword brushes.
