Fashion Design Garment & Construction Lines

Video Transcript

And now, at the end of the garment construction lines, we're almost ready to move into something more exciting, these are the details as they should look on your croquis. After you've refined your figures and added these construction lines, your croquis will then serve as your guide on which to draw your fashion drawings, the clothes that are going to be produced at some point. Designs from your personal scrap file when you're creating a collection, this, these are going to be what you have a folder of. Pull them out, draw them, easy, easy, easy. Right now, we're constructing them, we're getting in the process of having the ability to take them out of a file and just trace them, so now it's kind of tedious. But, you'll notice that the garment construction lines all curve around the forms of the body and they're not flat. This is the key to giving life to your croquis and three dimensions and to avoid looking like a paper doll. The lines are for you to understand that, when you draw them on there, they're not going to be there every time you draw, you just need to know where they are. They give your drawings an edge of authenticity. Don't use them like an engineer's map. Don't plot the points on the graph. You need to have flair and energy and style coming from within you when you draw your designs. These give you the basis for allowing your mind to go free and having style and energy that does make you intrinsically who you are as a designer.
