Thanks so much for such clear explanations and examples! It's amazing how complexity in drawing is always distilled down to simple forms. Now I've just got to practice practice practice

LESSON NOTES

What's in Premium?

I'll show you how to transition from building a basic mannequin to laying in fabric over the figure. We focus on drawing two specific types of drapery: pipe folds and diaper folds. You will learn how pipe folds form from a consistent line of tension points, and how diaper folds stretch between two distinct points.

I also share my "rule of 3" technique to help you edit down chaotic fabric details. Instead of copying every single fold, you will learn to design drapery using small, medium, and large shapes. This keeps your drawing from looking stiff and guides the viewer's eye. You will know exactly how to use tension points to make clothing look natural and three-dimensional.

Fabric details can easily overwhelm a figure drawing. Learn to simplify drapery using pipe folds and diaper folds. We cover how to find tension points and edit chaotic references into clear shapes that wrap around your mannequin.

I have a technical question. As I sometimes don't catch details in spoken English, I've turned on subtitles. Do they have to look like in the attached screenshot? They're not very useful in the form like that, demo screen is covered for most of the time.
