Learn How to Draw Clothes

Updated: Oct 22, 2021



Learning how to draw clothes is very useful for an aspiring artist and will help you add more character to the people being drawn. There are many versions on how to draw clothes as to just put it plainly clothes come in all types of models and textures. The following tutorials go deep into a more detailed explanation about this and reveal how to draw clothes from other resources such as pictures or even 3D renderings. It should be easy to follow along and have fun with these lessons, but if you want to take them to the next level you will need more advanced lessons and tips. I will reveal the secrets of how to draw clothes easily.


To start off the process, I will show you how to draw clothes with simple shapes. All of these shapes will follow the same guidelines as the ones for the circles and squares. You will need to start with large shapes and then gradually decrease the size until you get to the subtle ones like wrinkles and lines. The most important thing to remember is to focus on making everything look bigger, and more detailed rather than having tiny details all over the drawing.


Now we come to the most basic of how to draw things, the simple shapes. There is no pattern here, but try to make every single one unique by its shape and position. For example, if you are using the square as your main guide, you should sketch out its two most obvious sides and end with the middle part. Keep in mind not to include any wrinkles or lines in the sketch because they will make the whole thing seem too busy and sloppy. A good trick to keep your sketches clean and simple is to use a pencil to mark hard-to-reach places.


The next step in learning how to draw clothes is to move on to the slightly harder versions of the basic shapes. Try to sketch out as many of the basic shapes as possible. Remember that you should be focusing on getting every single detail to be as detailed as possible, so do not go overboard with the hard parts. The first ones that you should take care of are the shoulders, the arms, the chest, and the folds around the face. After that, you will be ready to learn how to draw the other parts of the body.


Now, let's look at some of the simplest ways to draw clothes. First of all, you need to remember that there are two types of folds. The first one is called the crease and the second is known as the wrinkle. It is these creases that give clothes their form and shape. These two creases are actually very easy to identify, so it should not be hard for you to learn how to draw clothes with them in mind.


In order to learn how to draw clothes with simple shapes, you will need to focus on adding more details to your basic shapes. Once you get the basic shapes correct, then you can add more detailed lines to make your clothes fuller and thus, wrinkle less. The most common shapes to work with when drawing clothes are the triangle, the straight line, the circle, and the double triangle.


For those of you who want an easier time, then you might want to consider learning how to draw the basic rectangle. All you have to do is start with two rectangles and then sketch out as many of the basic shapes as you can. You can add a few wrinkles here and there if you wish. If you prefer, you can even try to sketch out a dress or a trouser for use as a guide.


There are many resources online that will teach you how to draw a variety of things, including clothes. The best part is that these resources are free, so you don't have to spend anything to learn how to draw. You can use them as often as you like. If you are having trouble with wrinkles and folds, then you can even sketch out the basic shape of your figure first before you go on to create the folds and creases.
