How to Create Manga Drawing Clothing and Accessories
As if drawing the human form wasn't hard enough, adding convincing clothing with all its drapes, creases, and shadows can make an artist crazy! This reference work demystifies that a bit, detailing types of clothing wrinkles and where they're likely to form when worn and pulled in certain directions. Having some idea of where to put shadows and folds makes it much easier to clothe your characters realistically. There's lots of variety here – all sorts of modern clothing styles from casual jeans and t-shirts to cute summer tops to formal wear to business suits are covered in this book, each presented with its structure in mind. There are also sections on shoes, bags, and other accessories, and prints and patterns are also discussed briefly. Best of all, there are Japanese-specific outfits included such as yukatas/kimonos, sailor suit uniforms, and boy's school uniforms. Although not a comprehensive guide to all clothing, there's enough meat here to use as a reference for most outfits you would want to draw. One notable exception is armor; sadly, there's no armor depicted in this book, and not much in the way of historical era clothes either. As alluded to earlier, this book is mostly a catalog of clothes with tips on how to draw them, and as such is best used as a reference. (Note: there is a section on how to draw undergarments and lingerie). 175 pgs, pb.
