CURVES are only half the story!
VERYBODY can draw a figure:
The talent shows itself at about three years old. It soon develops into little matchstick men.
And if those little matchstick men ore well done they can prove to be a highly profitable first drawing lesson in balance,
In figure drawing, balance in every- thing.
And balance-or no balance-that Is the stage where most people fall down in their efforts to draw men and women.
Why does the centre of balance drop to the Instep when you are standing on one fool?
Why does the centre of balance chuge with every movement of your feet? You must find the answer to these questions. If you hope to become a puro artist you must study a good anatomy book and learn the mechanics of bodily movement. It is not enough Just to know the shape of the curves. The good fashion artist is not just an expert in portraying elathes. He gets his effects because he knows what is happening underneath,

are the most patient subject you can expect to find in the carly stuges of figure drawing. It leas embarrassing, too, if you are the only onlooker of your first drawing mistakes.
Don't be fussy with the pencil. It is stupid to draw a hundred lines when only one will do. But don't try to conform strictly to one outline at first.
Seck a broad outline to start with. And remember that the bigger the drawing the more diffleult it is to control proportion.
Don't berla with an exaggerated pose. don't start to concentrale on details. In draw- Ing the first outlines, the Impulse needs to cone straight from the eye to the pencil.
LOOK FOR the angle of the head, the direction of an imagined line from the centre of the brow, down the nose to the centre of the chin.

you draw something that docan't look right, there is a reason and that is where you need to start thinking. An expert can help point out where the fault lies.
Q:
A:
Is a woman's flguru harder to draw then A man's
NO. For a fashion drawing of a man you need to know the "archilecture" of his clothes, why his jacket hangs the way it does, why his trousers must crease in a cortain way if he bends his knee.
There is more freedom in drawing d women's clothes, a smoother flow. With the man's drawing you must expect a masculine stiffness.
WHAT are the chances of becoming
• a fashion artist?
A:
I DON'T know. You have got to be a good sel, Agure artist first, you must master the techniques of working in line and in half- tone. For instance, if you look at my own drawings in the newspaper you will see that they are particularly bold," than I would use in other certainly bolder commercial work. This is because a drawing in a newspaper must hold attention at once. I use heavy lac to give added punch.

for the inevitability of` gradualness in fashion
JAMES LAVER, author and expert on clothes, Traces the pathway to the Moran panties in his new book, Dress, Says Laver:
"Tennis costume toole a very long time to stereo type itself. In the early days women played merely in a blouse and skirt, or even in 'a 'costume. It was not until the nineteen-twenties that a real tennis dreza was evolved, and when, at the end of the decade, ordinary skirts grew long again, tennis costume went ag on its own and neither influenced the mode any more nor was influenced by it.
"A strenuous game will sooner or later impose its costume on those who wish to play it seriously." It has been a long straggle but tennis costume has at last won through.""
