Roberto Calasanz is a master craftsman, artist and illustrator. He shares his talents with UoF via 38 lessons that include: fashion drawing, illustration and rendering.

In an industry increasingly dominated by computer-assisted design and illustration, Dominican-born designer, Roberto Calasanz, practices the disappearing art of the precision line-sketch and flawless gouache illustration. He is a meticulous draftsman carrying on the fine arts tradition in fashion illustration that we associate with Alberto Vargas and Antonio Lopez.

Drawing on diverse cultural idioms and decades of experience as a respected designer and illustrator in the New York fashion scene, Mr. Calasanz has worked with leading designers, such as Jack Mulqueen, Liz Clairborne, Jones New York, Ralph Lauren, Victoria's Secret, Donghia, Herve Benard, and Talbots.

Roberto Calasanz now owns a retail store, De Main, in Dumbo Brooklyn, featuring his artisanal leathercraft and accessories.
