      Steps in Drawing Clothing

      When drawing clothing, it’s important to draw the character’s body first in order to create a

       guide. Let’s look at the steps involved, from drawing the body to filling in the shadows.

      Block-in the body and clothes

      Draw a rough sketch, using the blocking-in as a reference

      Block-in the body of the

       character you would like

       to dress. Once the

       blocking-in is finished,

       use the joints and

       particular parts of the

       neck, shoulders, elbows

       and hips as markers to

       block-in the clothing.

      Once the blocking-in

       is complete, sketch in

       the clothes and clean

       things up. Start by

       drawing the clothes

       in a rough outline,

       then work in smaller

       elements such as

       collars and belts.

      Clean up lines and add creases and detailed parts

      Once the clothes have

       been cleaned up, add

       in lines where creases

       are likely to form and

       adjust the outline of

       the clothing accord-

       ingly. Draw in pockets,

       neckties and so on in

       more detail than in

       Step 2.

      Add shadows to complete the sketch

      After the line

       drawing is complete,

       add shadows to

       finish the sketch.

       Decide on the

       direction from which

       the light will strike

       and add shadows to

       places that will not

       be lit or that will be

       hollowed out due to

       creasing.

      Drawing shadows

      Distinguishing two types of shadow in drawing

      Draw the light to bring out dimension

      After adding shadow, visualize the light

       coming from above and behind to subtly bring

       out dimension by adding white or bright

       colors above the shadowed sections.
