ok.. now I just need to learn the anatomy of clothes -.- AHHHHHH even CLOTHES HAVE PARTS EVERYTHING HAS ANATOMY ;_;

I started drawing when i was little thinking it was all about imagination and talent. Turns out it is about anatomy, lighting, physics and other stuff you would never, as a beginner, relate to drawing and painting. Still, it makes it more interesting and funny. Thank you very much for the video. Very instructive.

james: blah blah blah... *draw samples* me: ...sigh *with watery eyes realizing how puny my art is*

I've seen A LOT of drapery tutorials and this was the first to make sense on an intuitive level and stick for me. Thanks mate

Lol, 'Today's video is brought to you by me!' well that's a relief.

James, this is marvelous!! Thank you. I'm passing it on to our students at the Angel Academy of Art, Florence (I'm the Director of Studies). DIAPER, by the way, is an architectural term for any kind of material that spans an area (hence the American baby's bottom).

this probably THE MOST helpful tutorial on clothes I've EVER seen. Every other tutorial is literally just like "draw clothes like this" and never shows you how or why. but this one actually show the techniques and physics behind it. thank you so much for this

Finally, I've been looking for a video on this subject

This is the best clothing tutorial I ever watched! I love the music, the aesthetic, everything! And especially your clear and concise way of explaining things!

These drapery videos explain so much that I've wondered about. Understanding the types of folds and the mechanics behind each makes it so much easier to parse reference photos and pick out what features of folds to emphasize.

i started to really focus into studying everything i can about art recently and man does this instantly help out when i'm trying to design some clothing concepts. it's simple and straight to the point! Thank you

That was some damn good teaching. Gonna watch this over and over to grasp all the information in it.

This is taught so amazingly well, through simple explanation and intuition. I can almost feel the pull of the fabric on the figures that you draw, starting to understand where the pinch points are and how the fabric is pulled in different directions. Thank you!

I love your style of drawing! These study videos are so helpful!

My art teacher had me come to this video because I've been having trouble with shading and drawing clothing on figures, and dang I needed this! Now I've got some killer notes in my sketchbook, and i'm ready to tackle my portfolio piece. Awesome video!

Amazing, thanks!

man, this is such a good video! it's beautifully explained and on top of that, the calm speaking and soft music immediately got rid of the stress I was feeling from agonizing over a drawing that was taking too long, thank you

This is hands down the best tutorial on clothing folds I have watched. It’s expansive and he shows you examples on the human body. The length may be inconvenient to some but this tutorial is worth it

Every video you put out is abundantly useful and gives me a good sense of the subjects I want to spend time with.

I love how easy you make it look. Very informative video. Excellent presentation and awesome coverage of a topic many of us struggle with.

Ohh yeah! Thank you man! The first part catapulted my whole class in another plane of existence!

Oh my, boy. Thanks for this series. This channel made my day. People like you give sense and meaning to this platform. Thanks a lot again. Best wishes.

I'm not even learning about cloth but something else. But the classical music and the narration just had such a great calming effect it's helping me as learn perspective and shading.

Thank you. this simplifies the whole concept of folds into "moves" that can be applied universally. On the last set of maquettes I was actually able to anticipate your decisions. I look forward to practicing this.

Dude I love you so much. Just found your channel and it has EVERYTHING I am looking for and plus I enjoy your choice of background music.

Love your art channel, perfectly structured and clear instructions. Keep up the great work 👍

LOL THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR MY BROTHER IS SO GOOD AT THIS YET HE KEEPS TELLING ME TO GO TO PINTEREST😭😭😭😭😭😭 I CAN'T STOP CRYING OF HAPPINESS

Thank you so much for this man, it helps me so much 🥺🥺

Dude this is good! Thank you for sharing your knowledge 😭

We're really blessed to have people like you who make these high value educational videos and make them accessible to everyone for free. Thank you so much!

The best explanation about drawing fabric out there!

Best Clothings Drawing Tutorial EVER! Thank you a lot, I was looking for that type of explanations sinds so many time and I finally find it. Your tutorials help me so mutch. The way you explain is so "unique" ans special compare to the other KZfaqrs. =) Thx

I’ve learned more from drawing what you draw, as you draw it then I’ve learned from any other art tutorial I’ve ever watched/read. As a jobless highschool student your lessons have proven invaluable, and my gratitude is infinite.

Thanks a lot, James! This was reaaaaaally helpful to understand some drawing concepts.

Really great understanding and explanation of Bridgeman, I had a lot of trouble reading the book and your video cleared it up for me, thanks!

This was UNBELIEVABLE. Wow. Thank you!

Dude, I love you! You are the best art-related KZfaqr I know! You give so much of well thought information that I can't thank you enough! You brought back inspiration to me! Can't stress enough how amazing you are. Keep up doing this amazing stuff.

Thank you, this is truly a life-saver!

FINALLY IT MAKES SENSE THANK YOU SO MUCH

Ahh yes! My friend showed me the thumbnail from the part 2 gumroad and I've been waiting to see how you do it

This is definitely one of the best tutorial on the subject of folding of cloth, very comprehensive and pave the way for making purposeful observations in the future! Thanks a lot! 😊

WOUW, this actually makes sence!! Thanks, I've always had a lot of problems with this.

Fantastic video, James. Thank you for this!

thankyou , it’s so helpful 🥰

Dude youre amazing. Thanks for the lecture it helped me so much to improve.

I expect this should be very helpful. You wouldn't believe how difficult it can be to find a drawing book about the folds in clothing and fabric these days.

This is the best clothing explanation!

You just made my day, sir!

Even the arrows are drawn beautiful with perspectives and such.

This is exactly what I needed OMG.... thank you!! This was a very helpful video!!

Thank You!! This is really helpful!

Thanks, James. This is super informative.

Super informative! Thank you heaps man. Great video!

this is actually more stressfull than anatomy

Great tutorial! Best one I’ve seen on drawing clothes and folds!

This was awesome the most detailed view I’ve seen on this subject thus far most people can’t master this concept I feel ......and doing braids as well is another concept that most artist find hard to teach you should study and teach that as well

This is so so well explained!!

This has the equivalent feeling as a quick workout 😩 it goes so fast and your tired but you feel so accomplished at the end

Ohhhh this makes it so much better. I was so confused and now I get it! thank you!!!! :D

I'm living for the classical music in the background!

Wow! You're a great artist and teacher!

Thank you so much!!

Damn... This was actually useful. You just restored my hope in youtube drawing toturials

Great job explaining 👍🏻 thank you

This is a mastery level of drawing clothes, WONDERFUL!

Best explanation of cloth folds I've found yet. Thanks for this tutorial!

This video was so straight to the point I thought I had missed something. Just the way I like it. Thanks

Thankj you alot for this lesson. I have a better understanding now.

Your examples by themselves are great works of art!

THANK YOU

Realy thank you for all those examples. It is realy helpful

Albeit I am 3 years late to this video, it is so helpful. The practical examples and application to the figure is extremely helpful, and seeing him demonstrate and economize to the primary action helps. Now I know what to really look for.

Thanks James! Very helpful. Now I just need to put these techniques into practice

Brilliant video, well done James.

time to put this video on repeat! :D

This is a wonderful and very informative video

It’s crazy I’ve been drawing since I was 6 or 7 years old, been able to draw watever I look at, now I’m learning to draw everything without reference and it’s making me feel like imma rookie all over again, it’s so much I gotta learn, and relearn, this video is exactly one of the things I need practice for, and drawing manga body proportions, backgrounds, hands and feet ALWAYS and action poses. You make it look so easy. I think I suck at drawing clothing.

There's something about classical music in the background paired with drawing instructions/guide.

oh gee what are the odds this video is on my top row right when I'm struggling with drapery in my drawing. Awesome tutorial, dude! Cheers~

Bold of you to assume I wouldn't sit through a 30 minute video. Which I could I love watching you work.

I NEEDED THIS SO BAD.

Thank you for this.

Oh man, I was having so much trouble finding your channel! Thank God you didn't deleted it hahha

Extremely helpful thank you!

New ppls be like: Alright, this guy can draw. Oh he has a music channel... Alright i'm pretty good at guitar myself. But can he play? I'm kinda curious... *opens his music channel* *listen's to the guy shred for 10 sec* *jaw drops* *Dies from inferiority complex on the spot* *Few months later gets over it, starts to draw and play intensely himself*

Wow your work is amazing

Dude not gonna lie I love your channel

This helped me quite a lot. Thanks for the detailed tutorial! I had fun practicing. (Practiced for 4 hours help me my wrist hurts)

Thanks I got alot of ideas from this

Truly great tutorials. Well explained and easy to follow Thank you very much.
