If you are interested in drawing the clothed-figure, this class is for you.
“Mastering the Art of Drapery: Understanding Folds,” is designed for artists and illustrators of all skill levels who want to improve their ability to draw realistic and dynamic drapery.
Throughout the class, you will learn about the different types of folds that can be found in drapery, including:
- Pipe folds
- Drop folds
- Diaper folds
- Inert folds
- Spiral folds
- Zigzag folds
- Halfback folds,
- Knife pleats
- Inverted pleats
- Elastic folds
We will also learn about the factors that influence the way that fabric drapes and folds, such as gravity, points of tension/support, compression, the shape of the object underneath, and the material of the cloth.
The goal of the class is to build your understanding of the different types of folds and set you up for a good start at drawing the clothed figure with confidence.
Even if you’re new to drawing or painting, you’ll find this simple and effective interpretation of the different types of folds easy to apply to your work!
