RENDERING A FIGURE

1. Choose a garment and the figure you want to drape with your chosen outfit.
2. Place your figure on a lightbox and place a blank piece of paper on top.  Keep the garment that you can see its details.  With the lightbox on and the chosen garment in sight, practice draping your figure using the lightbox and drawing freehand.  The figure will be easily visible under the blank paper.  Alternatively, you could start to render the image directly in a computer program.
3. Add your desired details, including hairstyle and accessories such as shoes, bags, jewelry, or sunglasses.
