Once of my favorite illustrators I was introduced to during my time at Moore College of Art was J.C. Leyendecker.  I always had trouble with my fashion illustrations in college,  my professor introduced me to this amazing artist, his paintings just seemed to simplify everything for me about drawing the human figure.  During his lifetime, Leyendecker painted over 400 magazine covers and is most famous for his Arrow Shirt advertisements.  His illustrations displayed glamorous fashion and Ivy League sports, I love this era.   When I was a menswear designer at Tommy Hilfiger, we used many of his illustrations for inspiration for our collections.  Visit my Pinterest Picks board to see more of Leyendeckers artwork.
