LESSON NO. 1



In order to begin the sketching foundation line, make up your mind the space which is the size of sketching as mentioned in the front pages of this work. Now for instance, we begin the foundation of the blouse or waist sketch with a 1 inch space which is the most practical one.

As we are now to begin a foundation for a waist or a blouse make 4 equal inch spaces as shown on the diagram, from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. The space between 1 to 4, 2 to 5 and 3 to 6 is 2 inches each and now divide the space from 1 to 4 and 3 to 6 and draw a line from 7 to 8 and 9. which you will, no doubt, notice is a box of 4 equal inches. Follow diagram on top.
