What is a
Croquis
?A croquis is a template or a mannequin figure that is used to design clothing without having to take the time to redraw the figure each time.Once you have created a croquis, it becomes your master template that is used for each of your design sketches.
Your original croquis should not be drawn on.Slide10
What is a Croquis?Slide11
Creating Your Own Croquis
Today, as an introduction to Fashion Illustration, you are going to
create your own croquis
.Follow the instructions carefully in order to complete your work properly!This may not be an easy task (at first)! Don’t be afraid to try a few times until you get it right.Slide12
Creating a Croquis: Instructions
Look through the magazines and
find a full body photograph
of a male or female figure whose pose is in an ‘S’ curve.Slide13
Creating a Croquis: Instructions
Remove the photograph from the magazine and place a piece of
plain
white paper on top of the image.Lightly draw in the basic skeletal shape to capture the pose and see which way the body tilts.
You must sketch in the following lines:head, shoulders, waist, hips, spine4. Carefully trace over the body (not the clothing)
. If the clothing extends beyond the body, you will have to figure out where the body is!
5. Be sure to
take your time
and do it properly until you are
happy
with your work! Slide14
Creating a Croquis: Instructions
When you are finished tracing, remove the tracing paper from the image
(do not throw the photo away)
. Now, you are going to make a good copy of your croquis to use as your master template.
Use your first croquis drawing and make a good copy onto a clean piece of white paper (start with pencil and finish with ink / marker).Staple your first croquis sketch to the magazine image you used.Slide15
More Croquis!
Now that you know how to draw a
croquis
, you can go through the process again and draw two more!Create a croquis in a frontal pose.
2. Create a croquis in an action or sitting pose.
Follow the same instructions as you did for the first one in order to complete these two!Slide16
