Croquis 03

Some 3 years ago when I was still in university taking up fashion design, I had the biggest problem looking for croquis I can use. Finals for our Fashion Figure Sketching classes often required us to sketch about 100 fashion figures (all 4 Fashion Figure Sketching classes!).

Being the lazy boy that I am, I would search the net for croquis for reference. Unfortunately, I couldn't trace the figures because we were required to use eggshell paper which is unbelievably thick.

Anyway, back then I wasn't able to find croquis suitable for use. I tried searching DA this morning and to my surprise there still aren't that many croquis that I consider "FASHION" (meaning emotive poses) enough... or their legs are rather short. LOL! I'd like to think my fashion figures' legs would put barbie's legs to shame!

So here.. I made a few rough sketches of my own... I didn't bother polishing them or removing the construction lines so some people can learn from it...

If you're a fashion design student or aspiring to be one, feel free to use them. Just be kind enough to show me some completed works.
