How to Draw the Costumed Draped Figure

Release date:2020

Author:Bill Perkins

Skill level:Beginner

Language:English

Exercise files:Yes

Learn how to draw the costume and props from reference or from imagination in this immense course by three senior New Masters Academy instructors – Disney art director Bill Perkins, film and game character designer and figure painter Charles Hu, and internationally renowned draftsman Glenn Vilppu. Drawing from live models and photo references, as well as master drawings of the past, you will learn to capture expression, emotion and weighting of the pose as well as shapes and rhythms created by the costume folds. Bill Perkins teach you the action analysis study developed in Walt Disney Studios for animators. Charles Hu will demonstrate how to directly sketch costumed figure using many different media and how to apply language to your drawing. With Glenn Vilppu you will learn the seven major folds as well as approaches for using drapery to push the gesture of the pose and showing the form beneath in the case of clothing, as well as how different weights of fabrics behave differently. This course is perfect for fine artists, entertainment designers, comic & anime artists, and animators as well as portrait painters or for anyone who wants to draw or paint drapery from observation or imagination.

1. How to Capture the Expression of the Costumed Pose With Bill Perkins
In this lesson, Bill will talk about expression of a model’s pose and how costume and props help tell a story. You will learn how to capture essence and performance of the pose going through the series of short drawings from a live model.

2. The Action Analysis of the Costumed Figure With Bill Perkins
In this lesson, Bill will have the model walk through the series of two-minute poses expressing beginning, middle, and end of the action. Drawing them, you will try to capture emotion rather than the muscle structure or any of the clothing details.

3. Weighting & Balance in the Costumed Pose With Bill Perkins
In this lesson, Bill will focus on weighting – how the model stands on her feet, how she sits or leans. He will teach you to capture these directional forces in the pose which cause how the costume hangs and cue us into real space and real emotion. Bill will also briefly go over the action analysis study developed in Walt Disney Studio for animators.

4. Draw Shapes & Rhythms in the Costumed Pose With Bill Perkins
In this lesson, you will learn to see and markdown shapes created by garments folds. Bill will show you how these shapes pull from origins of stress in the pose gesture, how they move across the form and create rhythms.
