order to effectively draw clothing and drapery, an artist must
recognize the basic shapes of clothing and how the principles of
physics act upon those shapes. Beginning with the basic shapes
of clothing and the anatomy of folds, and progressing to final
rendering techniques of both sculpted and loose drapery on solid
forms—including how motion affects wrinkles, folds, and waves,
The Artist’s Guide to Drawing the Clothed Figure presents a
novel and completely thorough approach to understanding the
mechanics of drapery. This comprehensive resource examines the
mechanical principles behind the formation of folds: simple wave
patterns, intersecting wave patterns, and tertiary effects upon
these two, such as twisting and flowing forms. The book breaks
down all clothing into
