Learn core clothing techniques by exploring folds, points of tension, and reference breakdown, then draw your character's wardrobe and build a diverse portfolio.
Study how clothing wraps the body to reveal points of tension and the resulting folds, from armpits and shoulders to the chest and waist.
Master diaper folds and other creases by identifying two tension points, sketching large shapes first, then adding details and shading.
Sketch a feminine outfit in Procreate by combining a crop top with a long skirt, and emphasize movement through fabric folds, tucked shirt creases, and tension at shoulders and armpits.
Choose colors to create an elegant feminine outfit in Procreate, balancing skin, hair, and warm red and white tones with soft and hard shadows, lighting, and highlights.
Sketch a comfy outfit with loose pants, using a scarf to imply movement, then refine to line art and apply grayscale shading with ambient occlusion on a separate multiply layer.
Apply a pink-tinted grayscale base to prevent muddy colors, then color each clothing piece on multiply layers. Shade, highlight, adjust line color, and use gradient maps for final touches.
Publish your two outfits project for the same character to receive detailed feedback and a chance to be featured in the next class, and see how outfits shape personality.
