2024 Course - How to Draw Fabric - Patterns and Textures

Knowing how to draw textures and patterns on fabrics can bring your art to another level. In order to get realistic results, however, there are certain things that you have to keep in mind such as what is the scale, what volume are you trying to achieve, what is the pose, where are the twists, and most importantly, how does gravity affect the fabric. When starting a drawing, you'll want to answer the questions, “what do I want to draw?”, and “how do I want it to look?” In this drawing class, I'll help you gain the skills to confidently draw patterns on fabric, to interpret textures in your own style, and to draw clothing on figures. The course includes demonstrations, theory, and helpful tips on individual work. This is an intermediate level class, however, beginners who have taken drawing classes before are welcome.
