Flats, Flats, Flats

Hello!! Something we have been working on for a while now in class is flats. A flat is a flat sketch of the garment not on a croquis. The purpose is to be able to see ALL garment details. You just need to be able to see every little detail of the garment. So our first assignment with flats was to draw the flats of the garments we are using for our final project. We had to do 3 dresses, 3 jackets, 3 bottoms, and 3 tops to mix and match that will eventually make 5 outfits.

Dresses

 Tops

 Jackets

Bottoms

I kind of like doing flats. It's fun to pick a garment you really like and then just draw it straight with all the details. I took all of these from a website and drew them out. You should definitely try finding either a garment you have in your closet or pick something from a website. Just make sure you can see ALL the details. Also when drawing flats of tops be sure to add the back of the garment at the neck line (see my pictures to see what I mean). For example if you have a V-neck top you should see a shaded area that is meant to be seeing into the inside of the garment to it's back. Happy drawing!!!
