Drawing People – How to Portray the Clothed Figure

Draw Natural and Believable Clothed Figures

In Drawing People, award-winning illustrator and instructor Barbara Bradley provides all the information you need to render clothed human figures with energy, detail, and control.

Bradley begins by teaching the basics of any drawing, including proportion, perspective, and value. Next, you’ll learn how to overcome the special challenges posed by clothing, including fabric folds and draping effects. Bradley illustrates how they’re constructed and how to draw them in different situations—on male and female figures that are active or at rest.
