A tutorial on how to draw folds on "clothing" in board painting

Let us draw the body first, and then the clothes.

When drawing characters, it is recommended to draw the body first and then put on the clothes. Don’t wear clothes suddenly. If you draw from clothes, you tend to forget the human body in the clothes, so before you get used to it, draw the body first before drawing clothes. 

How to draw wrinkles on a tailored shirt

After drawing the body, I will dress it up.

In fact, non-stretchable fabrics like cropped shirts are difficult to move when they fit as in the example. However, in the case of illustration, it is best to draw along the lines of the body.

Draw a line drawing.

I totally like how many wrinkles are added in the line drawing stage, but if you follow the wrinkles too much, it will be messy, so don't draw too much.

The theme this time is "wrinkles", so I dare to follow the wrinkles in an easy-to-understand way with line drawings.

It is a bottom sweater.

This time, to make the wrinkles easier to understand, I will paint with an image of a slightly shiny fabric.

From here, it is the depiction of painting, which is an important point. Be sure to pay attention to the light source when painting. This is because you can express the 3D effect of wrinkles by drawing with consideration of the light source.

This time, I set the light source in the upper left corner. Pay attention to the light source and cast rough shadows. After that, by casting a deeper shadow in one step, it looks more three-dimensional.

The collar is dark,Because it assumes that the head is above the neck, it will cast dark shadows.

It casts a shadow further.

The trick is to put it down roughly and then add shadows on the wrinkles so that you are not distracted by the wrinkle lines.

I will draw the part exposed to light.

For shiny fabrics, you can add highlights to the border between light and dark areas to create a shiny look.

It is okay to use the same idea as when painting metal, but if you apply too much force, the cloth will become harder and harder, so let's be moderate.

casts a shadow on the darkest part.

If you use a lot of dark colors, it tends to become cloudy, so let's reduce the number of points and reduce the number of steps.

The tailoring of the shirt is complete.

Since the wrinkles on the shirt are easy to understand, they look unnatural, so please observe the real thing carefully and remember the wrinkles.

How to draw wrinkles on cutting and sewing

Next is cutting and sewing. It should be a thermal technology-like fabric suitable for slimming.

Because it is a soft material, the wrinkles are very soft and fit your body.

It is a bottom sweater. I will paint it pink this time.

Since it is a soft fabric,Use the blur brush to add a rough shadow to the entire surface.

I will express the shadow.

It is easy to hesitate, because a large area like the abdomen will not get stuck, but it will cast a solid shadow with courage and motivation.

I will express bright parts, such as reflections.

When expressing the brightness, only the eraser is used to express it, the new color is not used, and the color will not be lost.

The reflection in the direction opposite to the light source is also slightly reduced, but please note that if the reflection is excessive, the light source will not be visible.

It casts darker shadows.

By adding light and dark tones, a more three-dimensional effect can be obtained. This is a soft fabric, so don't overuse it.

Add a shadow to the darkest part. This makes the entire color look like it is gone.

As a detailed technique, I made a dark partition at the border between light and dark so that the wrinkles around the elbow can be seen.

Finally, I will draw the brightest part. Since the light source is set in the upper left corner, the highlight is placed in the center on the left.

is over.

If necessary, you can adjust the color.

I tried to dig out the wrinkles of clothes step by step. You can only say that there is one content (the human body). Don't lose your balance because you are too concerned about wrinkles.
