Understanding Every Type Of Clothing Fold

Thanks for watching! Quick book recommendation: check out Barbara Bradley's book: "Drawing People". It's a veritable treasure trove of clothing tips, and I wouldn't have understood this topic as clearly without her!

This video is so useful and detailed!! Thank you for sharing and putting so much effort on teaching us:)

Within two minutes your video gave me an "aha!" moment that changed how I approach clothing folds.

It's hard to articulate, but; it was the triangles in the zigzag folds, seeing them as volumes rather than stop-and-start layers as I had until now. As the video progressed I realized I'd been treating areas of folding as discreet units instead of the result of the fabric interacting with the underlying form.

Rendering fabric has always been hit-and-miss for me, getting proper looking folds happens pretty much accidentally. But now I have a vocabulary I can use to guide not just where they go but also how and why they form.

So thank you! You have a marvelous gift for imparting practical advice succinctly and comprehensively.

That character look sick in thumbnail

This was insanely helpful

Blacksad is cool. Thank you very much for explain the concept of draw clothing

Informative as always, thank you so much

Short and concise! A must watch for every beginner artists

This video really stands out to me because it actually made me feel like I was genuinely learning something! Because of all the repetition with the names of the folds and such, now I'm probably going to be identifying each type of fold I see in my daily life as a way for me to study them well! Very nice video. I can't believe I learned so much in just 14 minutes.

This is incredible. Instant sub. Thank you.

I seriously thought I knew "enough" about making folds in my artwork. In fact, I found this video this morning and initially thought "oh, this isn't game changing advice, but it is a nice refresher of what I already know". But literally an hour after watching it, I'm sitting here drawing and finding myself already thinking back to these tips as I draw folds...and it's surprisingly made my art so much better than I remember. Goes to show you can never stop learning, especially when it comes to the fundamentals of drawing.

Thanks for this super easy-to-follow but informative guide on drawing folds! Look forward to checking out your other videos :)

Thanks

As someone who wasn't quite sure where to put folds or even how to draw different folds in clothing, this was so helpful! I find clothing and folds really satisfying to look at and to draw, they're often so dynamic, both in shape and shading. So I'm really excited to be able to draw those things better from now on! Thank you!

What types of folds do beds use?

I've been waiting ages for this! There was a different video about folds I found earlier this year, I watched it like 20 times and I still had no clue what the half-lock fold was. You explained it in in like 10 seconds and I got it instantly. Thanks Marco! 💗

thank you!!!! i will try them rn je je

🤩

Thank you. Ive been trying to find a video like this, and the clothes i draw looks like they came out of the best laundromat ever. But with this video, it feels like I'm being taught in person. Your techniques helped me.

I LOVE YOUUUU U
