Use previous instructions when drawing the legs and feet.
When placing a dress on this figure, have the lines of the dress conform to the action of the figure as in Lesson XVIII.
When the arm is bent and extended forward, the break of the sleeve at the supinator longus takes the opposite direction from the front view, showing that the upper part of the arm is on this side of the lower. The lower portion of the arm is foreshortened.
When illustrating the back of a costume, use a back figure going the same way as the costume sketch to be illustrated. See Lesson II on the back form.
Draw back figures in corsets and in
underclothes. These are harder to find
than front figures. Keep everything that
will help you, even upper and lower parts
of figures.
Compare several back figures. See if you can combine them in one drawing. Always use figures facing the same way.
