Sketch your figure drawing. Start with a straight line. Draw a vertical line across your page to represent the span of your figure from head to. Divide your figure into equal sections. Evenly mark along the line so it’s divided into sections. Since the first. Proportion your figure.

MyBodyModel is an app that makes custom fashion croquis templates (body outline sketches) with your real body measurements.

Each instructor walks you through their philosophy for croquis sketching. Croquis sketches are quickly-rendered drawings that capture the essentials of a subject's form and pose with relatively few expressive lines.
There are four levels of sketching described in the book:
1-minute croquis: very rapid gesture drawings that capture only the artist's impressions of the form, and where the pencil stays in contact with the paper for practically the entire session
2-minute croquis: another quick sketch, but with more attention paid to the character and rhythm of the lines and how they help to express the essence of the form
5-minute croquis: a more finished drawing where added tonal variations suggest volume and anatomical details
10-minute croquis: more of a finished drawing than true croquis, the longer session allows the luxury of adding fine details such as the facial expression, the character of the hands and clothing texture
Learn to sketch the following:
Individual body parts (including faces) and their bone structure and muscles
Standing and sitting poses
Nudes and clothed figures
Light and dark tonal variations
Dynamic poses
Color drawings
You'll quickly hone your sketching skills with this life-drawing classroom-in-a-book. The expert advice and observations, dozens of poses to study, as well as easy-to-understand notes and tips make it easy to understand how the skeleton, muscles and posture all come together to express the uniquely female form.
