Anonymous asked: I know I asked this before but honestly i’m desperate, how do you draw folds? I understand pressure points and everything but I still can’t draw them. T^T
ACK! So sorry! Anyway. Tbh it’s a bit hard? But not to the point where you’ll get super frustrated. That’s why I didn’t emphasize this.
Also it’s hard to explain but here are the rules I gathered:
- Remember direction. Observe real clothes and understand the type of objects that will push or pull the cloth.
- practice on random lines/ziggy zags and make them the fabric. After you make random shapes or lines, give them the folds. Limit the folds! Large fabric and small objects, MORE folds. Small fabric and large objects, LESS folds. Equal, only NECESSARY folds.
- The type of the fabric will always also limit your drawing of folds.
- KNOW YOUR OBJECTS. BE PATIENT. Don’t just copy references of folds all the time. Try to understand the objects first that will affect the clothe and make folds. So in any angle you’ll make folds you don’t need to worry. But do lots of observing. There’s so much pictures in Google that’s easier to determine folds. Good luck!
