Drawing Pants Knee Level
Here are some drawing issues that distract from your design silhouette focus: 1. 2. 3.
Keeping the crotch, knees, and leg lengths in your figure groupings matching makes it easier to read your garments’ design proportions.
Drawing knees too high up on the thigh can interfere with pocket shapes. Drawing knees too low on the leg can throw off your figure proportions. Knees drawn centered on the leg are never a problem with garment detailing.
