STEP TO DRAW CROQUIS TECHNIQUE

Step 1

Begin your sketch with the lines of action in your pose. Those action

angles of the shoulders, waist and hiplines will be in proportionate
distance to one another. Next, swing a line through the middle of

the action angles of your pose down to the floor. The middle line will

become your centre front.

Step 2

Fill in the volume of the chest and the hips. Leave space for an
imaginary waistline. Get a foot shape started so that your figure will

a grounded.

Step 3

In this pose, notice that the front has a near and a far side. This

directly affects how many chests and hip-width you place on the
left and right of your centre front line. The near side will be fuller

while the far side (the part that turns away from view) will be smaller

than the side that swings towards you. Next fill in the thigh area.
