THE PRACTICAL SKETCHER

LESSON NO. 38

MISSES' SIZE
BACK VIEW Complete.

In order to complete the back view, it is now necessary to continue the curving of shoulders for the sleeves from 1 down to 7 and 2 down to 8. The space of curve is 7 and 8, which is about ¼ of an inch extended from the original outline of the box which always means ⅛ of the box space, which we use for sketching.

The sleeve length of this sketch is situated according to the full length of the waist, which reads to 7 and 10 and 8 and 9. The space between 7 to 10 and 8 to 9 is about ½ inch or ½ of the box space, and connect to 18 and 19 for the underarm space, which is about ½ space between the waist line and breast line and then it is necessary to make a round curve from 1 to 3 and 2 to 4. Be careful and study these curves as they are the most important part in sketching. The belt effect between 3 and 5 and 4 and 6, you will notice is about ¼ of an inch for 1 inch space of sketching.
