Fashion Illustration – Head Theory, Croquis “Sketching or Illustrate designing is a skill drawn with the assist of number of lines and the design is produced with help of lines and strokes but it differs from drawing.” The focus in fashion illustration is to illustrate the fashion facts or croquis used for draping the clothes.

The combination of Fashion Design and Fashion Illustration is known as “ART”….. Sketching is the foundation of making original pieces of work in Fashion network. Fashion illustration begins with the sketching of a croquis, the extra notation of the garment, and also a technological representation of the garment, before it is produced.

All these eight heads are as follows:

1st Head = from top head to chin of neck

2nd Head = from chin of neck to bottom of armhole

3rd Head = from bottom of armhole to hollow of waist

4th Head = from waist to fork

5th Head = from fork to the end of fingers

6th Head = from the end of fingers to below knee

7th Head = from small to lower leg, just above the ankle

8th Head = from lower leg to the end of foot

How to create a Croquis? A croquis is an eight-headed figure outline which is the basis of fashion illustration.

The purpose of using “Eight head” theory of Fashion Illustrations are to identify the figure exactly. 1.) Draw the balance line from neck to ground , it should be straight 2.) Add the shoulder and hip line 3.) Fill the body shape – chest, waist, hip 4.) Then draw hands, feet, faces and at the end finish by drawing hairs 5.) Then sketch a high fashioned street wear or casual outfit using pencil or fine pen, for reference we can use magazines The main important components of Croquis are:

  • Balance Line
  • Hip Line
  • Shoulder Line

One of the most challenging parts of being a designer is communicating your ideas and convincing people to opt for your works and designs. This is made possible through illustrations.

Sketches of variousclothing over a croquis , be it a male or female, are the key component behinda great collection. Illustrating every design is essential as to how people orclients can interpret what you have in mind. You can never use words alone indescribing and explaining your design. How laborious could that be?Illustration is a visual aid that meets the need for conveyingyour concepts into paper. It is a language wherein designers can express theircreation from rough studies to a finished production.

Here are a few tips on illustrating a male croquiswithout making it look as if it has female features. With these, you will beable to properly illustrate your garments or pieces and help your teamunderstand the design and properly create the garments you envisioned.

1. While females have more rounded head shape withsmall, delicate chin the gentlemen need bigger and more rectangular forms. Menhave larger brows that are placed closer to the eyes. Their eyes are lessrounded and the nose is more defined (often times bigger). The ears are largerand the upper lip is not as full as the female model.

2. The differencesin the neck and the shoulders between men and girls are very visible. Men haveshorter and wider neck. The shoulders are considerably wider. Really a lotwider! Plus the men have this Trapezius muscle, which forms a bulge between theneck and the shoulder.
3. The tricky difference between male and femaletorso is in the body outline. Men have no waist. The torso is like arectangular shape with an inverted triangle at chest level. Never give hips tomen figures too. The hourglass shape will make the figure look like a femaleone.
4. When you draw the men’s arms you need to be moreaware of the muscles underneath the skin. The arms are more massive and so arethe hands. The arms of your male figure should be at least twice bigger thanthe female ones you’re used to draw.
5. Men have bigger, more muscular legs. While you’reseeking elegance and finess when drawing the female legs, in men body you wantto make them look stable, massive and strong. Notice how bigger the knees areand how close together the thighs are near the crotch. In the smallillustration you can see how the women knees are close together, while theknees of men don’t touch.
6. Notice that his head is more rectangular and alittle bit bigger. See the short, wide neck and how wider the shoulders are.Compare the waists and the size of the arms. Notice how much more muscular thelegs of the male figure are.
