The Fashion Figure is different with The Human Figure
Striking difference: the fashion figure is higher, wider and square his shoulders, very narrow at the hips and legs look very long.
The biggest difference is, the number of fashion always taller, more graceful and more interesting.
There should be a more angular appearance and a more abstract feeling to a fashion sketch than there is to a human figure, but at the same time the fashion figure, to meet modern popular demands, must be natural looking and suggestive of action.
