Underfashion Club: Illustration & Libation with Bil Donovan

,

The Underfashion Club had the pleasure of illustrating live lingerie models with guidance from the acclaimed fashion illustrator Bil Donovan during our latest event, “Illustration & Libation”! It was held on May 14th, 2015 at the Society of Illustrators in Manhattan, a gorgeous environment that’s brimming with art and dedicated to nurturing the creativity of illustrators. All attendees enjoyed a delicious dinner and drinks while networking!

Sketchbooks and felt-tip markers were provided for anyone who was willing to nurture their artistic abilities and learn a bit about fashion illustration from our talented guest.

After all of our guests arrived and settled in, Underfashion Club president Victor Vega gathered everyone to the center of the room to announce the raffle winners, then welcomed fashion illustrator Bil Donovan to begin the lesson!

Bil encouraged everyone to participate by breaking down the simplest components of drawing and letting it be known that anybody can draw, regardless of experience. He then introduced models Lefty Lucy and Sydney, who wore gorgeous lingerie that was generously loaned by the good folks at Wacoal and Carole Hochman Design Group.
