Saw this years ago and been looking for it since. You have a nice logic seeing the folds.

do you draw the general shape over a body, or you use just imagination? 

FUCK YES, VALUABLE INFORMATION

Thanks!! This is very helpful

I'm scared of the armpit one

Helpful!

This is so helpful...

Gosh learning to draw sure is difficult

thank you!

Thank you, this was very helpful to me!

Amazing tutorial!
I laughed so hard at the armpit one xD Oh boy

wow amazing!

Nicely done 😁😁😁😁

thankyou

I'm guilty of doing some of the 'no-no's' here, thanks for your help! Great tutorial.

Thanks! You helped a lot!

Q for folks who looked at this before I did: has something changed here? As of right now I'm not seeing any "download the full size" button, and if I right-click the image on this page and save it what I get is "39908c9907789c35ad3cfbd4bd84019e-d37rt9o.jpg" which is 383 px by 2083 px. I can see the marked-up example images pretty well and get the point of the tut, but I can't read the text at all, way too fuzzy. Thanks!

wow, very helpful thx

Got it. TRIANGLES!

This is incredibly useful, and I should remind myself to look at this whenever I'm trying to draw folds from now on xD

fail ~.~ i always draw those lol-whut-folds when i draw tees >_<

this thing helped me so much. I was never taught this at ALL in any of my art classes.

Thank you so much! You helped me a ton!

i love this so much 0n0

But the tutorial is good, and has some useful examples.

But it isn't always that folds are drawn with triangular axis. In step 6, part 4, right and middle part of clothes on her stomach has straight horizontal lines, because it looks good instead of making it triangular. Not to mention the folds in the middle of the skirt, they are like that just because... It's hard because it seems that there are no rules from which to know how folds are placed.

Ah thank you!
this is exactly what I need!

excelent!

Bro, this is a life saver.

How would you draw an article of clothing (say a button-up shirt) on a male whose shoulder is being pushed against by another's hand? Would there be any obvious folds or creases that change based on the action?

Thank you!

This is awesome ^_^ It's simple, easy to take, and quite interesting in that, while many people would accept your rejections as 'good'.

really helpful, thank you for making this
