Draw Dynamic Folds & Wrinkles

Whether you are a beginner or a professional, if you struggle with drawing believable fold and wrinkles, this is the course for you! Much like studying human anatomy in order to draw convincing characters, it’s important to study the anatomy of folds to confidently draw clothing on your characters and in your environments.

Instructor Shawna Tenney is no stranger to drawing drapery. In her book Brunhilda’s Backwards Day, she had to draw and render a big, pink, fluffy dress over 20 times. It was because of her understanding of the anatomy of folds that she was able to beautifully stylize the folds and wrinkles.
