I remember doing that a lot in art class, just with a paper canvas and full pencil work, the old fashioned way.

Did you used mouse or tablet for this one? Looks great.

I did some pencil sketches as a part of my study, but started doodling in OC and decided to just let it go as a full study

The more you draw things you hate to draw, the less you will hate drawing them. Well, after the initial bonecrushing frustration, that is.

haha...'tis trueee, I know. >.<' It's that initial frustration that is such a huge obstacle. Frustration makes me break out and everything...T_T

Research!! I totally need to research clothing folds! This looks awesome. You've got so much of the contrast right, it looks like it was referenced

Yeah, I think I've got a good grasp of shading, but my drawing needs work, so I'm throwing myself headfirst into practicing. It's amazing what you can learn if you just force yourself... read lots of tutorials and grinded through studying from photographs. It got frustrating at times, but I pushed through.

This is fantastic! Cloth folds are always the hardest to do.

I have to do something like this in more form class. but we have to use charcol! so evil!

Anyways this looks good.
Im not a pro at this but just a few things I notice. Kinda hard to tell where the light source is. I assume from the right but then I think there should be more darker value to the left

sererena In reply to Onirin [2007-09-28 10:59:02 +0000 UTC]

The light source is a bit ambigious, the light is very diffuse... It's just coming from the top, though

It's easy... I sketched some photographs of clothing and found some tutorials on DA to help explain what I was seeing.

Howdy! I'd like to learn more about how to draw cloth foldings... You said there were guides on DA. Where?

Really nice job there

I sometimes do it at public places, I watch the way people's clothes move and stuff, that helps too I think.
