Quarantine could get boring. I wanted to begin the process of learning design, particularly fashion. I felt I could gain some credibility before college starts by doing so.
But if you want to learn something especially a subject of such enormity, it’s hard to figure where to start from.
Under the ongoing circumstances, only online learning is plausible. I browsed through Udemy, a reliable source for learning online. I sought after fashion courses and found many on this platform.
I decided to go with the course, Basic Fashion Illustration. I chose this course because it was an introduction to the anatomy of a basic fashion figure. The first thing that came to my mind: what is different in a fashion figure from a human figure?
It all begins with the height of the respective figures. So a typical human figure’s height is equal to the eight times the height of its head. Now a quintessential fashion figure is equal to the nine times the height of its head. This is in consideration of the fact that the heights of the head of both figures are the same.
That’s why fashion figures are taller.
There is a reason as to why fashion figure illustrations are taller than human figure illustrations. This has mainly got to do with the fact that fashion models are taller than an average human.
Fashion models have become an indispensable part of the fashion business. They walk shows and also play a pivotal role in the outreach of a brand.
