Hope everyone had a great turkey day. Here are some clothing studies from over two years ago. A lot of this study came from the drapery and clothing chapter of the Famous Artists' Coursebook from 1954. I highly recommend seeking out these volumes and buying them. They are a treasure trove of great information. Over the years I have mamaged to aquire 16 volumes, covering many aspects of illustration, cartooning, and painting.
The drawings below are of various folds that in the lesson have been simplified for the illustrator including the pill fold, diaper fold and directional fold; all are very simple and effective (the butt fold is one I made up). Knowing how and where to place them and with how much emphasis is the tough part. I'm still struggling with these folds, but it's starting to come a bit more easily now.

Your doing a great job with the folds Ted even if you are struggling with some of them. Nice to know that you are paying attention to these kind of details. Brings the life of the characters to a whole new level. Keep up the good work!
Wonderful folding studies...I hear that series of books were great, I have wanted a book that really shows some good fold drawing technique, its one of the things I always forget, the seven folds... I will have to keep my eye out for cheap copies somewhere (although I imagine they wont be cheap)...keep the posts coming!
Terrific character studies.
BEAUTIFUL studies.
