WORKSHOP 2 - Renaldo Barnette (http://renaldobarnette.com/), consulting designer and illustrator at Ralph Lauren, hosts the 2nd workshop of a 3-part series* focused on teaching hand drawing skills to fashion illustrators and designers. Barnette will be taking a little more time to demonstrate techniques during this workshop and will cover more of the subjects listed below. If you missed the previous workshop you can still sign up - there will be a short review.

The workshop aims to expand creative boundaries and give artists insight into the world of professional illustration. Barnette has condensed years of experience illustrating for Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Anne Klein, and Nicole Miller among others, to teach a variety of approaches to drawing fashionable and marketable imagery.

Demonstrations | 1 on 1 Instruction | Step-By-Step Exercises

Barnette will work with you on techniques that compliment your illustration style whether you are a beginner or more advanced. This is a personalized solution-based intensive to help artists translate their ideas to paper and evolve their illustration style to a level that resonates with the viewer (your market), not only with you (the creator). He'll explain how he maintains and performs at a high level, more consistently, at a steady output, within limited time frames, and for different markets.
