Week 9 Study - Clothing and drapery


In week 9 we studied clothing and drapery. Here are two self portraits of me wearing different clothes so that I could study the way how different types of fabric folds (I managed to do both arms by drawing the basic shape of the right arm with my left hand and then filling it in). 

On the left image, I feel that the folds came out well in the waterproof jacket as they show how the fabric hangs. I feel that there were more creases on the sleeves however. On the picture on the right, the skirt looks a bit flat at the front, and doesn't really look like the material it is made out of. Shading it differently and adding texture could improve it. the vest on the right image also has creases slightly in the wrong places, which I could improve by paying more attention to the way the material hangs off the body. The hoodie's creases turned out quite well as the material looks realistic.
