5 Minute Croquis

I used to design mannequins, and a good mannequin pose is like the best croquis - somewhere between editorial and catalog, so you can feel like you're doing a fashion illustration with all the practicality of a regular sketch. A Flickr feed I'm part of introduced me to the wonderful Atrezzo mannequin collections out of Barcelona, and this was one of my favorite poses, which I timed myself to render in 5 minutes. I got it, but spent a few more minutes just fixing up the face a bit, but the body and stance I did all in 5. I miss mannequins. Makes me want to go back into display...
