When drawing garments on a croqui they are supposed to show movement as if they are dancing off the page unlike when drawing a flat of a garment. After the garment is drawn on the croqui, the next step is to render it using prismacolor markers and pencils. A color scheme is first established. Many schemes are available to choose from including analogous, achromatic, complementary, monochromatic, split complementary, and triad. The color scheme chosen is important because it will combine with the stance of the croqui and the design and shape of the garment to convey a mood. Shades, tints, and values will help the garment appear three dimensional on the page. When rendering the body there are three steps. First a base skintone is applied, second shading is added where shadows occur and last highlights are added back to create movement. Rendering garments is a similar process. The prismacolor pencils come into play at the end and are used to establish patterns and texture in garments. When rendering garments to avoid flattening the clothes should not be outlined in black and multiple shades and tints should be used. Also, the lines of the garment should contour with the shape of the body.
