ABSTRACT

Incorporating necessary accessories such as hats, gloves, eyeglasses, jewellery, scarves, shoes, handbags, parasols, and so forth into costume-design figures is essential for completion of the design and displaying fashions of the time. The complex details of hands can be simplified and reduced to a few basic lines and shapes. Female ankle bones have smooth curves and male ankle bones are angular and big. When drawing feet as in drawing hands, the angle is very important. Accessories and props can be put on the body or held in the hands of the figure. Choosing an accessory or prop is based on the dialogue, actions, and characteristics of a particular role in a play. Capturing the correct and proper angle of the ankle bone between the legs and feet makes the feet appear strong and lifelike. When drawing high-heeled shoes, the angle between the leg and foot diminishes to some degree depending on the height of the heel.
