How to draw Clothes - Tutorial
Added 2025-06-09 07:40:41 +0000 UTCI mainly have 3" key rules" in mind when drawing clothes
Tension points:
The points where there is more tension against the clothes (duh) which is where the folds point towards. For example #1 , if you hold a sheet by pinching it with your hands from two points all the folds would point towards your hands and it would look like the image I attached . It's pretty self explanatory but if you don't get it the next key rule ties into it and it might make it easy to understand.
Gravity:
It will always goes down unless you're drawing a character underwater or in space. It's pretty basic but you need to keep this in mind. The only situation folds won't be looking straight down is when a character is in motion and not standing still, or if wind is blowing.
Shape Underneath:
The shape of whatever is under the clothes, the example of pinching the sheets won't work on this one since there's nothing really under it so I attached another example (example #2). Basically just keep in mind whats under the clothes and how the clothes interacts with it. (Are the clothes tight? Lose? and how would they look with whats under them?) I attached a Mora drawing as an example for this one :)
I got asked about this on the discord server but I thought why not also share it here :)))
