 Important Tips
1. SPINE can be curved.

2. SOME body parts maybe hidden from view so you will

need to use your imagination.

3. SOME body parts may also appear shorter because of

FORESHORTENING.

4. For standing position, BALANCE LINE will start from

the center of the collar bone and goes down to the
floor.

5. You may use LINES/STICK FIGURE to copy gesture

of hands also.

6. Guidelines such as the balance line, elbow arc, knee

and ankle line should be drawn after the stick figure
has been established.

Resizing to
9 1/2 Figure Proportion

Monday, July 4, 2011

 Steps & Tips for Resizing
1. Decide what is the equivalent size of the head. Write it on your plate.
ex: 1 head = 1 inch; 1 head = 3/4 inch; 1 head = 1.5 inch
2. Draw the vertical and horizontal guidelines with the head count.
3. The head count marking of the vertical line begins with the top of the
head. For the horizontal line, it begins from the left most part of the
body going to the right.
4. Plot positions of body parts based on traced material.
5. Use the additional guidelines to plot the position of specific parts -
elbow arc, knee & ankle guidelines.
6. Retain the shape of the head. Mark the center and eye level.
7. Remember to elongate the following parts: NECK, TORSO, ARMS &
LEGS.
8. Remember to make the fashion figure slimmer. You may slim down
the ff: WAIST, NECK, HIPS, ARMS & LEGS.
9. For foreshortened parts, estimate the elongation and size adjustments.
