"With this pair of underwear I decided to do, again it's got a little nod to the menswear inspired briefs but also you can see now that they are narrower, they're skinnier and they come up higher on the legs like a pair of bikini underwear. So it's kind of a combination of bikini style versus mens brief style and it's a meshing of the two. When you start drawing and you're looking for inspiration sometimes it can create the coolest things to choose two totally different styles, two opposite ends of the spectrum. Men's briefs, tiddy whiteys and then cute little pair of bikini panties and put them together in your head for a fashion chemical reaction and take half of each and what you get is going to be something that is completely original and totally you and yours even though it's a very obvious style everywhere. But you created it and this is very, very easy to draw. First you do the waistband, then the higher legs and then your center part."
