Carboard templates

I created 2 carboard templates - a male and a female one followng the fashion design rules for proportions. For my practical work I will use these templates to create the sketches. The standard proportions in terms of fashion and costume design are 8,5 head for a male figure and 8,5/9 heads for a female whether the model if on heels or not. ALthough these are the standart proportions, some desigers allow theirselves to draw the legs longer in order to point out the sillhouettes The essetial points of the body while creating a sketch are:
  • Neck - starts from the second head
  • Shoulders which start from 1/3 of the second head
  • Opex - 3rd head
  • Elbows - final 1/6 of the 3rd head
  • Waist - 4th head
  • Hips - 2/3 of the 4th head
  • Groin - 5th head
  • End of the straight wrist - 1/2 of the 5ht head
  • Knees - 7th head
  • Ankles - 8th head
  • Feet without heels - 1/2 of the 9th head

Here are some photos from the templates which I first draw on a normal paper and then glue on a carboard base to me more comfortable for outlining afterwards.
