Croquis drawing is quick and sketchy drawing of a live model. Croquis drawings are usually made in a few minutes, after which the model changes pose and another croquis is drawn.
The short duration of the pose benefits models because they do not need to keep still for a long time; this also benefits the artists because it helps them concentrate on the essential elements of the pose. An artist does not have time to draw all the details, so they learn to concentrate on the important elements. Croquis is also a good method of drawing subjects that generally do not stand still and pose, such as animals and children.
After the initial sketch, croquis drawing can be used as a foundation for another work of art such as a painting or may be used as a work of art itself.
The word croquis comes from French and means simply "sketch".
In fashion, the term refers to a quick sketch of a figure (typically nine heads tall as this is the accepted proportions for fashion illustration) with a loose drawing of the clothes that are being designed. Often a large number of croquis drawings will be created for one finished look, which is fully drawn and finished.
I'm a hot blooded man
Girl I know you like how I am
And I'm gonna sit back close to you again
Rushes thru' my body, quivers up my spine
This feeling when I see your curves of desire
Your gentle looks can kill
So full of lust within
Let me caress your flesh
Unveil your passion, turn you on!
It's the night of the snakes
X-rated scenes ahead
Time to put the kids to bed
Explore the mysteries of our bodies
Release some tension from this moral flesh
Lick one hundred beads of sweat!
You are the one for me
Your passion sets me free
I'm glad you feel the same
