Coming soon! The Official Launch of “It’s A Wrap,” Book on Drawing Folds and Drapery!

Recently I circulated the folds book among a few industry professionals to garner reviews. I felt this was an important final step, and the result is that the book will not be released this week. We are really close, and as soon as the reviews come back and I give it one final edit, it will be ready to go. This cool little booklet is chock full of illustrations and diagrams, and easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions that will help artists at all levels get a better understanding of “fold anatomy.”

If you have not preordered your copy, the good news is, on the official day of release, there will be social media fanfare, and cool incentives for those who have either preordered, or who place their order on the launch date. This includes a drawing for a chance to win the following fabulous prizes:

• Three winners will receive a personal emailed review, from me, of one of their drawings or art pieces.
• Three winners will receive a signed original drawing from the book mailed to them (Continental US only)
• And finally, one lucky winner will receive BOTH prizes.

Listen to the testimony of Naomi Haverland, master fine artist and street art wizard out of Washington:

“A recent commission I did gave me some trouble when it came to painting the fabric folds on a bed sheet. Luckily, I have a friend, @hummelillustration who just wrote a book on drawing fabric folds, and although it hadn’t been published yet, I’d already bought it in the presale stage. After an email to him, he sent me the preliminary PDF of the book, and it was hugely helpful! As you can see, the bedsheet in the ‘after’ compared to the ‘before’ shows how beneficial his book was.”

The before and after images of her project tell the story of the usefulness of this book. And she is not the only one. I have seen first hand the dramatic improvement in the works of my own students when they start to grasp these concepts.
