Kinokuniya Sydney Book Launch!
June 16th, 2018
What a fun day at Kinokuniya Sydney for a demo and work-along with author and artist Jane Davenport as she shows us how to draw Fabulous Figures!
Jane Davenport’s fabulous, fun, and amazingly easy techniques nurture creativity and playful experimentation in aspiring artists. In Fabulous Figures, Jane lays out the basics and walks you through working with different mediums; drawing the head, face, clothing, hair, and features; and constructing figures inspired by fashion, fantasy, life drawing, and more.
