[wizards101official]

I don't know if you've already been asked this before but do you have any tips on how to draw clothes? It's like the one thing i can't seem to grasp 🥲

Ill actually give u the next best thing, I’ve been waiting since forever to make one of those little clothing tutorials so I decided to make one centered on folds and the dynamics of clothe since I see those being some of the biggest things most ppl struggle with

ENJOY THIS ITS A TAD ROUGH !!!!!!

I’d be happy to make another one of these focused on other things like texture or specific parts of clothing, simplifying and rendering if anybodies interested 💥💥

Clothing and folds are like drawing ears, they look alright however you actaully CHOOSE to draw them.

So you want to draw sick as hell wrinkles in clothes?

Well I have some bad news. If you want a decent understanding of how to wrap your character in clothing you must first understand the shape of the body you wish to wrap in clothes.

I draw the body before the clothes every. Single. Time I draw a person.

I’m not saying that you need to practice realism or even necessarily need to draw the body without clothes every single time. I’m saying that you should be practicing understanding the form of your characters body. Your character could be a stick figure or the most realistic thing in the world, it doesn’t matter. You need to understand that the drawing you make isn’t just two-dimensional.

What you’re actually doing is building a complex 3D model inside of your brain and then putting it down onto your paper/canvas/digital whatever. Or, if you don’t have that ability yet, you learn how to do it via learning the shapes of the form of the body, memorizing those shapes, and then you realize that you can twist the 3d model in your head to get what you want.

And then there’s wrinkles in clothes. Always important to study references, however, most of the time I just fudge it and it works well enough. So, TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE YOUR WRINKLES LOOK NATURAL.

These are the basic steps I take when drawing wrinkles.

Some other stuff to keep in mind:

If the fabric is stiff, then you’re going to want to use stiff straight lines to help convey that feeling. If the fabric is soft, then you’re want to use rounded lines.

The tighter/thinner the fabric, the more wrinkles that’ll pop up when it bends. The looser/thicker the fabric the less wrinkles you’ll see.

When the arm twists, so does the fabric. The tighter the fabric, the more closer together the wrinkles are. The looser the fabric, the wrinkles go up the entire sleeve. Also, the more twisted the fabric, the more it compresses against the arm. I know that that’s hard to visualize with just words, so I provided a couple of examples below.

Anyways, thanks for coming to my TEDtalk.

Patch making tutorials?

and here i am once again, with a patch making tutorial

how to make stenciled patches:

i'll post a part two in the future which will cover freehanding and stamping ur patches

-

first some general info that might be useful:

i get my patch design inspo from pinterest, etsy, and tumblr. if sell your patches make sure you arent ripping off another artists patch design when using etsy for inspo. anarchostencilism also has tons of stencils both on deviantart and reddit which are free to use.

i use acrylic paint for my patches, but if you can afford it id advise fabric paint. to seal paint into the fabric iron the patches, it helps em last longer. some acrylic paint survives very well in the washing machine, but wash your stuff by hand the first time to see how well it holds up.

if you make your patches multiple colors, dont first make the whole patch one color and then paint over it with the other colors. if the paint starts cracking the base color will show through. (if you like that however then dont mind this)

i paint my patches on jean fabric, cause it makes the patches sturdy yet flexible. but shirt fabric or canvas both work very well too. anything except really plasticy/slippery or textured fabric can be used

i pin my patches down with pins onto multiple layers of taped together cartboard, to prevent the fabric from moving around and distorting the print

-

there's two ways in which i make my stencils

1. with paper covered in tape

2. with the plastic folder you put in your binders

-

option 1:

draw out your design onto some paper, make sure there arent any "loose" parts in the design that will get lost when cutting out the stencil

cover the paper in tape front and back, make sure you can still see your design through the tape

cut out your design, i use scissors and an exacto knife

-

option 2:

draw out your design (you can also draw the design directly onto the plastic folder)

cut a piece of plastic out of the folder big enough to cover your drawing and tape it down.

trace the design onto the plastic with pen or marker (any mistakes can be wiped out)

cut out your stencil

-

continuation from both option 1 and 2

after finishing your stencil you can pin them down on some fabric

dap on your paint with the point of a big brush or a sponge, depending on the paint it'll take 2-3 layers.

make sure your previous layer dried completely before adding the next one

after the paint has fully dried you can carefully take off your stencil.

!!dont unpin the patch before it fully dried, or the drying paint may cause the fabric to warp!!

thats it, questions are always welcome, now go and make stuff!!
