MAKE YOUR OWN FASHION POSES

Make your own Fashion Poses

Step #1 - Draw Center Line & Pivot Points

INSTRUCTIONS:Click here to print out your template FigurePivotPointsCroquis.   On this page you will find a FREE template and instructions for use in building your own fashion poses.  I use this template in many of my classes and is especially helpful to beginners with no access to a model to draw from.  Supplies needed – You will need tracing paper, ruler, fine point marker, white out pen for corrections.

Pivot Point #3 - Rib Cage

Put template under tracing paper.  Draw in vertical black center line as shown.  Draw in pivot points #3 (rib cage) & #4 (pelvis) as shown.

 To Draw Rib Cage – Press pen into Pivot Point #3 as show, turn template under the tracing paper.  Draw in ALL parts of rib cage including seam lines, center line, and shoulder pivot points.

Pivot Point #4 - Pelvis

To Draw Pelvis – Reposition template under Pivot Point #4 and turn template in the OPPOSITE direction as shown.  Draw in ALL parts of the pelvis including center line and top of leg bone pivot points.

To Draw Head – Find Point #5 – pivot from there so head goes back over vertical center line.

Pivot Point #5 - The Head & Neck

To Draw Legs – Position template under top of leg – Pivot Point #6.  I usually draw the “weight bearing” leg first.  It should remain directly under the hip.

Pivot Point #6 - Right Hip & Leg

Pivot Point #7 - Left Hip & leg

Position template under Pivot Point #7 for other leg.  Swing leg out.

To Draw Arms – Find Point #8 – Swing arm up.  Go from pivot point (joint) to pivot point #9 & #10 as shown.

Pivot Point #8 - Shoulder & Arm
