Brush up on blazer basics
A boy’s blazer is simply the mini version of a man’s blazer with simple lapels, two lower pockets, and one breast pocket. By using basic shapes, you can create the jacket that boys hate to wear!Here’s how to draw a boy in a blazer:
-
Draw the top half of a boy fashion figure and add in slightly curved lines for the armhole seams.
A boy’s chest is not packed full of muscles, so draw it slim.
-
Map out two curved rectangles for the front of the jacket, showing them a few inches apart for the jacket to be open. Draw in the sleeves.
Draw slightly looser sleeves than you would for a man’s jacket and end the sleeves at the wrist bones.
-
Add two triangles inside the inner edge of each curved rectangle for the lapels.
-
Use a straight line to show pockets. Don’t forget the buttons and the breast pocket!
-
Most blazers are of a dark hue, so shade in the jacket with the side of a soft pencil.
Try drawing a tie
Getting a little guy or tween boy to put on (and keep on) a tie in real life is a challenge, but fashion drawings don’t put up a fight, so deck out your young dude in a tie! Like a bow tie, a tie lies under the collar.
Here’s how to draw a tie on a boy:-
Draw a boy’s head, neck, and shoulders.
-
Sketch out two triangles for a shirt collar where the neck meets the torso.
-
Draw a small square between the collars, just below where the triangles meet.
This square represents the tie’s knot.
-
To draw the sides of the tie, draw short angled lines out from the bottom of the square. Extend the lines down and then angle them toward each other to form a point.
The tip of a tie hits slightly below the waist.
