Last week, Studio 1482 illustrator Dominick Santise and I attended the Workbook Creative Carnival in Chicago. We then spent the next 2 days creating reportage drawings around the city.

Last night’s fashion drawing session with @bildonovan @soi128 @offenbad
Views from my home yesterday.
If you watched my #igtv vid, here is the finished #drawing
My first #drawingvideo on Instagram. Full disclosure, this is sped up 😉 I can draw fast but not that fast. Swipe for the finished #drawing
“1-minutes” are what these short poses are sometimes called. They’re great for capturing body language and design. What I find is that they tend to be honest and instinctual. Less time to think and only time to react. It’s great exercise for the mind and hand.
