FIDM's Fashion Club offers a free fashion sketch tutorial to learn how to draw the nine-head fashion figure. Gather your supplies. You’ll need a pencil, eraser, ruler, and sketchpad. Sit down at your desk with the open sketchpad in front of you. Now you are ready to let your imagination take over and fill the white space with your fashion sketches!

One of the cornerstones of fashion school is learning how to sketch fashion figures. However, as fashion school students learn, there’s a big difference between proper body proportions in art and in fashion. In art, the body’s proportions are measured in heads. The average figure is about 7-7 1/2 heads, including the actual head, tall. However, in fashion, the body proportions are elongatedin order to better represent the models, who are above average in height. Because of this, the figures become 8-10 heads tall. Though the basic proportions of the fashion figure are about the same — give or take 1/4-1/2 of a head — every illustrator adds their own style to the formula.
