THE PRACTICAL SKETCHER


LESSON NO. 24

COMPLETE DRESS FOUNDATION
LEFT HAND SIDE VIEW

This foundation is the same as the previous lesson called complete dress foundation right hand side view. The foundation is different only in the opposite way of built. The bust is built towards the left instead of the right, therefore, follow instructions exactly like the one before with the opposite dimensions and no other additional time is to be wasted.

The reason this outline is given is to suit the different tastes and ideas of people who may want to make their sketches towards the left instead of the right. We practically advise all sketchers to make use of mostly the right hand view, but many times it is a case of habit and we, therefore, show this particular left hand view, otherwise, there is no different point regarding mechanical details, whatsoever.

Regarding a more clear proposition of garment sketching, as we have already explained we are showing a complete foundation without systematic lines but only by traced lines, which is given in the next pages of this book.
