These garments are worn over other clothes, which adds volumeto your shape, while sleeves often get wider with deeper armholes to accommodate the layering of garments plus a lining (if there is one). With closures and button placement you need to get very specific,as illustrated on this page.fashionSKETCHBOOKHigh hip sideof pose.In thispositionboth legssupportthe pose.HeadsFleshTonesFigure WorkMixed MediaFabricRenderingWoven TopsCrisp shirting fabrics rarely cling, but they do tendto fold and bend in sharp angles with the pose ofthe body. Keep these folds to a minimum so theydo not end up looking like so many wrinkles.JacketsAny jacket or blazer worn over woven shirts orknit tops means an excess of layers or fabrics tosketch. The easiest solution to this is to broadenthe shoulders to accommodate the extra width ofthe jacket and to plan for more fabric volume inyour sketch.A. Sweater Knit: RibbingB. Leather Jacket: SheenC.
