There are different approaches to
drawing flats and specs, yet each
requires a fashion student or
designer to demonstrate their
knowledge and understanding of an
individual garment. Flats and specs
are therefore not as much concerned
with the overall look, as a figurative
drawing might be, but rather with
the detail and characteristics of the
garment. These characteristics could
be defined through a series of three
main visualisation processes. The
first is an understanding of the
overall silhouette and proportion of
the garment. Flats and specs are
drawn with much more proportional
accuracy than equivalent figurative
illustrations, so instead of a nine-
or ten-heads figure, a more realistic
eight-heads figure is used.
