I do have a tip, if you are drawing a member of the female species of human then I hear that clothes aren’t necessary so you don’t have to draw them!

fuck ton of references, break down the clothes in shape
is this an application or interview or smth?
it’s a tip to use a lot of references
Send source
holy shit marikinonline4 fanart in the wild
ok that aside, try tracing real-life clothes’ wrinkles to develop some sort of instinct/sense in drawing folds
also there’s a few stuff you may want to keep in mind:
- cloth’s thickness or texture (whether it’s thin, hard, soft, thick, whatever) can affect the fold’s shapes
- where folds can happen. shit happens when clothes bend (at shoulder, elbow, where body parts twist, joints and shit)
- honestly, you gotta use your sense to judge whether the folds you drew are too much or too little. i usually use my"if it fits the style i’m going for then it works" lens to help me judge

I am gonna be totally honest here, no offense, but the tip “use references” is the laziest, most unhelpful, crappiest piece of advice ever.
like I really cannot be the only artist who hates it when you ask anything in art and there’s always that one mf who goes “duhhh just use references”
like I think at this stage most artists at my or your level understand that references are important to the process
sorry for the rant but ong

anyways most the advice here is actually pretty decent so thank you
Understandable, it is how I learn myself and I find it the best for me so yeah
it’s how most of us if not all of us learn though, references are pretty important.
it just gets obnoxious when ya know you’re already pretty established with art and there’s ALWAYS that one person who says “use references” like you’re stupid and don’t get that already
Yeah Sure, but are any of the references not helping you?
One other way is tracing it since you’re aiming for this style, and this one where you use your finger and a tissue to create wrinkles
no I mean references do kinda help but it’s still difficult copying or trying to comprehend how folds work and stuff
tryna find like a certain universally applicable way

Try wearing similar clothes yourself IRL and looking at how it bends and wrinkles, can help you understand it on a universal level
okay
what if i’m drawing like a fighting scene tho with a lot of perspective or moving components
