Europe.

We will learn together how to do some fashion sketches step by step.

So today we said we will learn about how to do a fashion sketch. I will use some special

pencils, for example Staedtler, it's a German mark. You have here the number of the pencil

- so it's 8B.

This means the color is very dark, the shade is very dark, and then, you have another brand

that i would recommend, it's Toison d'Or, and the last one, you will see here, it's

Koh-I-Noor.

And Koh-I-Noor also has the gray pencils. They are almost the same like this one. This

ones I would recommend because they have a darker color, a darker shade.

So, for the beginning, the difference between 8B for example and B, like this one ( you

will see the numbers of the pencils: 3B and 2B).

So you have a lot of range of different pencils.You will see that, the bigger the number is, the

darker the color is. Like this one, compared to, for example, 2B - that it's not so dark.

So, at the beginning, we will leave an empty frame around the page, like this. It could

be like one or two fingers, depending on the size of the paper.

So you have this safe area, just to make sure you will not put your figure here, or here,

or on the left or on the right side.

Then, you'll split this in two, into equal parts: so this is equal with this, and then,

depending on the size of the paper - but usually on this A4 - so it's an A4 format - you will

need your thumb like this, and then you have the shape of the human figure.

You will have this one replicated by 7 times and a half - until nine. So this means the

had enters nine times or seven and a half in your human body and then you will leave

half of the size of the human head - this is for the neck here and then you will choose

your shoulder line that will go down and having this line down it means that the other line

- or the hips - will go up.

And then you connect the upper part of this line - so this is AB - the B part you have

to connect with this, with the symmetric line, because otherwise your human body will fall

in one part or the other and then this one you can connect: you can go like this, or

here, or you can go like here and this, and then you just have this line that should be

parallel with the link of the knee, and then you can choose what's the position of your

leg.

After you did all these, you should know that half this size is the size where the hands

are finished , like this. In the beginning you should do the axes, and

then we will do the primary shapes and at the end the connections between the shapes.

Ok. So, we will do the cylinders now, like primary shapes: cylinders, spheres, cone and

cube. And then here. The hand. And once the drawing is finished you just go to the third

step. And you just connnect the shapes. Very easily because you have the previous two:

axes and primary shapes that will help you draw the human body and then you just connect

these simple shapes. This is a very important muscle: because it

is the bigger in the human body. And another pair of muscles: this one is bigger, this

one is smaller, this is on the left side and this is on the interior side of the leg. You

just connect them and then the lower part of the leg and we are almost finished.

You just add some details if you want, to the human face. Just to trace the axes where

the eyes will be positioned, and the nose and also the lips, and we are done.
