What's in Premium?
Now that you understand the basic folds, we need to look at the bigger picture of costume design. In this premium lesson, I show you how to use clothing and silhouettes to tell a clear story. We use characters from the Batman universe to explore how archetypes like the hero, brute, and villain rely on specific shape language.
You will learn how to break down a character design into percentages of squares, triangles, and circles. I also explain how posture, specific fold types, and value distribution support a character's personality. You will get practical demonstrations on mapping out mannequins and designing garments that make your characters instantly recognizable.

Studying the silhouette of costumes helps reinforce an archetype. We explore how specific folds and value patterns support the gesture and story of different roles.
