Practice Design Exercise

Do not “glue” the fabric to the model…create a look that the fabric drapes.
Add dimension to the fabric (sleeves are drawn like the top of a bottle/can).
Use irregular line and spacing to create flow and drape…clothes don’t hang in straight lines.
Bottoms of skirts aren’t straight…they are curved.

Time: 20 minutes

Peer Evaluation
