This workshop teaches a clear, simple and accurate approach to drawing fabric, folds and clothing. The techniques suit today’s modern educational (and professional) environment where students have a lot more to learn in a short period of time. It is updated from more classical drawing traditions, but is easier to grasp in the beginning and can be more quickly learned.

In this class students learn to draw drapery, folds, different materials as well as historical and modern clothing. Realistic shading techniques are paired with tips on stylisation, offering a well rounded skillset that allows students to use these techniques as they see fit.

​

This workshop also helps students to create their own costumes from imagination, and assumes students will soon want to draw characters wearing outfits based on their favourite movies and games.

​

The techniques learned in this workshop can be applied to animation, graphic novels, children’s books, game design, urban sketching, life drawing and in character design. The workshop is based on courses Will has developed at ArtCenter (where it is considered an essential class) and in seminars for professionals at the Society of Illustrators in LA, for DreamWorks’ TV and Feature Animation, for the Animation Guild and other organisations in Los Angeles.
