01
The drawing
A croquis is a mood, not a blueprint. Its proportions are always a lie — a flattering one.
02
The toile
The idea is rebuilt in cheap cotton first, so the expensive cloth is only ever cut once.
03
The compromise
Somewhere between drawing and body, one line always has to change. Choosing which is the craft.
“The sketch is the question. The toile is the answer.”
