MODULE 1 • Mapping the Pose & Ruffle Pleats
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1A | Start this lesson by mapping the gesture of the fashion pose, beginning with the plum line, the neck and shoulders. Then add the figure’s torso and hip. Finish the gesture by mapping the other side of the figure’s torso and arm. |
| 1B | Add the figure’s jawline. |
| 2A | We will begin by adding the blouse’s neck ruffles. Our ruffles will be more like box pleats and therefore drawn with a bit more structure than ruffles that are gathered into a neckband. |
