Is the figure a real person?

No. It is a drawn fashion figure on a plain page, not a photograph.

Can I cut fabric from these?

The ink drawing shows every seam, trim and fastening, so it is the one to follow for a cutting line. Measure against your own body before cutting.

What is the difference between the three styles?

Pencil croquis is graphite with light hatched shading. Marker render adds flat marker colour. Ink lines is a uniform black outline with no shading.

Can I change the costume?

Yes. Type it in the direction field, such as a male dancer or a kids costume. The sketch is a request, so check it against the costume you want.

Reading 1Samba costume

Reading 2Harlequin

Reading 3Masquerade gown

Fashion figures on a plain page, each wearing one Carnival costume drawn in full from headdress to shoes: a samba dancer's beaded costume and feathered headdress, a Harlequin's diamond suit, a Venetian masquerade gown. Costume makers and dance groups use them as a design reference before cutting fabric. A pencil croquis shows the form, a marker render the colour, an ink drawing every seam and trim. Type another costume, such as a pirate, and the figure is drawn in it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
