More practice :)

Hello all! Sorry I haven't posted for a little while. Things are getting crazy ;) I have some examples of some more things we worked on a while back. Firstly we worked on different types of necklines. Something you have to remember when doing necklines is you need to "leave room" between the fabric and the body. There is always just a little bit of space because otherwise it looks like the garment is "suctioned" to the body.

Bateau Neckline

Sweetheart Neckline

Cowl Neckline (this was my favorite one to do)

Standing Collar

The first 3 we had a bank of necklines to choose from and the very last one we got to just choose an interesting collar we liked. I liked the standing collar because it was a bit different :)

Find a picture of a neckline and practice it on different turns on croquis. Start with straight on just to make it easier and then try turning the croquis and bit and practice it that way.

Then we got to practice jackets! Jackets can be kind of tricky. You have to be sure that there is room for the shirt that would be under it. Jackets always have to have more "room" when drawing them.

Dolman Sleeve. This is one of my favorite drawings. It looks exactly like the picture :)

Set-in sleeve. We also had to do one that was 3/4 turn.

Again, that first jacket is probably one of my favorite drawings i've done. Again find a picture and practice it straight on and then try doing a 3/4 turn to make it a little trickier. 

Coming up I'll start showing you what I'm working on for the huge final project :) Thanks for reading!
