About This Book
Comprehensive and user-friendly, this volume combines four vintage instructional manuals by Walter T. Foster, the world-famous art teacher and publisher. In addition to explaining the principles of figure drawing, it provides a handy retrospective of fashions for men, women, and children from the first half of the twentieth century.
This authentic guide to vintage styles features a splendid range of apparel, from ladies' lingerie and evening gowns to men's business suits and children's play clothes. Artists at every level of experience will benefit from tips on portraying figures in motion and at rest, along with advice on accurate renditions of clothing folds and patterns. Step-by-step drawings with helpful comments explain a variety of techniques, including pencil, pen, wash, and opaque.

Art TechniquesHow to Draw the Figure: Female Fashions
Part I
In this book I show a number of proportions that can be used. You may choose the figure you like best and apply it to all other figures. My system is flexible and you may adjust it to meet your own needs.
In order to keep up with the fashions there should be a change every three months, but that would be impractical in a book. The dresses are suggested and the draping shown. You may use any current fashion magazine or create your own designs. It will be oi great value to know that the figure also changes.
The first figure book I published in 1920, the proportions were 7¼ to 8 heads to the ankle, 1½ heads for the circles, elbows at 3 and the circles at 2 and 4, a much shorter figure. The fourth edition not quite a year old, the figures were 8 and 8½ heads to the ankle, 1½ heads for circle; elbows at 3 and the circles at 2 and 4, a fine figure for the short dresses. In this book, the fifth edition, you will find the proportions vary and the figures more slender and taller, to show the short waistline and long dresses to a better advantage. The elbows are above 3 heads in some figures.
