81/2 heads or 10 heads high

In fashion illustration, you can draw a 81/2 head croqui (left) or a 10 head croqui (right).  The 10 head croqui is a more elongated look and is used in more fashion situations.  We have done a plus size 81/2 croqui for a project as well.  

Kissing Colors

In my fashion Illustration class we learned about prisma markers.  They are universal! Which makes it easy to communicate with other countries about colors.  If you touch the tips of the markers you can create a new color.  After you draw with it, it will eventually go back to its original color.  This technique is called kissing.
