How to Draw Costume Chronicle

Learning to draw clothing, and how it drapes over the human form, is a vital skill that all artists should strive to master, and this book is a great help! It contains tons of simple line drawings explaining and showing various types of clothing, mostly worn by women: various types of tops, skirts, pants and how they're affected by the movement of the body, and many variations such as pleats, ruffles, shirring, smocking, and so on. Also includes useful features such as how breasts of various sizes will affect clothing worn over them, and a quick and simple guide to plaid! The text is in Japanese, but the images can be easily understood by anyone. If you're an aspiring artist of any stripe, this book would be a fantastic investment and one you'll use for a long, long time. And check out at the "underwear chapter," linked below!
