LESSON NOTES

What's in Premium?

I'll walk you through the last two active fold types: Z folds and flag folds. You'll learn how to draw Z folds to show compression and heavy, baggy fabric bunching up against a surface. Then, we'll tackle flag folds to add dynamic movement to your characters, like a cape catching the wind or fabric reacting to a sudden spin. I'll also show you how to map these folds onto a figure and edit out distracting details so your drawing stays clean. Finally, we'll adjust our line work to show different textures, like stiff leather boots versus soft cloth.

Fabric tells a story about movement and resistance. We explore Z folds and flag folds. Z folds happen when fabric compresses against a surface. Flag folds break gravity to show forces like wind. This helps you ground your figures.
