Summary

### Summary
Hey everyone! In today’s episode, we will be sharing some tips on fashion drawing. These are not rules, but tips for beginners who want to learn about the basics of drawing fashion figures.

Highlights

• Proportions: A normal woman has a body that is seven times her head in length, while fashion designers often use a proportion of 10 heads for an aesthetically pleasing figure. I recommend using 10 heads as it keeps the proportions more natural for clothing later on.
• Balance: Drawing figures standing with their weight distributed evenly on their legs creates balance. You can use a vertical line to help maintain balance in your drawing.
• General Attitude: The fashion figure’s proportions should follow these guidelines: head is 1 segment, full body is 10 segments, shoulders at 3 segments, waist at 4 segments, and hips at 4.5 segments. Give the figure an attitude by adjusting the position of their shoulders, waist, and hips.

Key Takeaways

• Remember to have fun and feel free to break these tips as you gain more experience!
• In this tutorial, we learn about standing with the Plum line. The important points are:
• The hips go towards the side, and you need to end up on the Plum line.
• It doesn’t matter where the other foot is or what position the arms are in as long as they stand on a steady point.
• In this example, we started with head at 1 and 1/2, shoulders at 3 and 1/2, waist at four and a half. The shoulder line and hip line go in opposite directions.
• This position gives the right attitude and balance.
