Legs
As fashion drawing is largely
concerned with presenting an
interpretation of an ideal figure rather
than realistic proportions, so it
follows that drawing the legs is an
exercise in artistic licence. Fashion
legs are routinely extended in the
upper leg and thigh, and below the
knee to where the ankle meets the
foot. Referring to the principle of
head heights in fashion, half the total
height of the female figure (i.e. four
head heights) is taken up bythe legs
from below the crotch position.
