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.
This was me realizeing art becomes more about science and precision when you wanna get better at it. yet artist still get accused of their creations "not being work." Tis a shame.

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).
Thank you so much Michael! That's a huge honor, and thanks for the information! I'd love to chat with you at some point, feel free to email at info@moderndayjames.com
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
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.
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
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!
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 TH-camrs. =) Thx
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
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!
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.
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*
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.
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.
@@moderndayjames to be fair, I don't think any mere mortal can reach that level XD BUT I freaking love your lines man, you have a way of making things look fluid and elegant!
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.
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.
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! 😊
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
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.
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!
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
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!
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
Dude, I love you! You are the best art-related TH-camr 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.
Congrats on sitting through a 20min video? Videos this length are more useful. Though totally understand that they can't be the norm' due to time and the like.
How do categorize and simplify the foods often found horizontally on a jacket sleeve? Small, numerous, and often bunched up. They resemble pipe folds and diaper folds to my newly learned eyes. I appreciate any help.
Ok how can this magician of art just sketch things for which I´d need half a day to get a result that looks like my dog ate something wrong? AMAZING ART!
same principles, but because those modern type of clothes tend to be more form fitting you will get tighter and more controlled version of each of these types of folds.
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.

This was me realizeing art becomes more about science and precision when you wanna get better at it. yet artist still get accused of their creations "not being work." Tis a shame.
Most people in fact think it's "all about imagination and talent", which makes their feedback not really useful for improvement.
Imagination and creativity are still the base of a drawing, these are just the technical skills that go into making it happen.
@@graymage2511 yeah, "just" what make it happen.
@@graymage2511 the other way around
ok.. now I just need to learn the anatomy of clothes -.-
AHHHHHH even CLOTHES HAVE PARTS
EVERYTHING HAS ANATOMY ;_;
Clothes don't have an anatomy...
@@B3llyk0 clothes interacts directly with anatomy
This is what he meant
Yeah. And anatomy doesn't necessarily have to be about the human body so...
Intnet explorer clothes don’t necessarily need to be on humans do they?
Not exactly right. Everything has structure and 3d mass.

Yeah this one has great summarization and generalization \
james: blah blah blah... *draw samples*
me: ...sigh *with watery eyes realizing how puny my art is*
LMAOOO
I feel that so much.

yes! Even if the folds you use aren't 100% accurate to real life, if they resemble the correct idea, the viewer will understand the idea.

That was some damn good teaching. Gonna watch this over and over to grasp all the information in it.
this is actually more stressfull than anatomy
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.
Finally, I've been looking for a video on this subject
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*

thanks dude! I didnt learn art and music concurrently so that helped. Music came at a much younger age
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.
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.
Even the arrows are drawn beautiful with perspectives and such.
This has the equivalent feeling as a quick workout 😩 it goes so fast and your tired but you feel so accomplished at the end
Ohh yeah! Thank you man! The first part catapulted my whole class in another plane of existence!
You wanted to be Kim Jung Gi and you did it,

No problem James! Glad we both have the best name
Best explanation of cloth folds I've found yet. Thanks for this tutorial!
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~
Imagine actual cloth movement in cartoons and animation series
It's actually impressive in Sailor Moon
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.
There's something about classical music in the background paired with drawing instructions/guide.
Damn... This was actually useful. You just restored my hope in youtube drawing toturials
I'm living for the classical music in the background!
bro the drop folds are what i needed in my drawings
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!
Bold of you to assume I wouldn't sit through a 30 minute video. Which I could I love watching you work.
This video was so straight to the point I thought I had missed something. Just the way I like it. Thanks
I don't fuck around on this channel! Except for the times that I do and make type-o's and explain things poorly.
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 was UNBELIEVABLE. Wow. Thank you!
I love your style of drawing! These study videos are so helpful!
This is a mastery level of drawing clothes, WONDERFUL!
One of the rare cases where something looks really complicated in art but really isn't
How come it took me so long to discover this channel owo
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!
I love how easy you make it look. Very informative video. Excellent presentation and awesome coverage of a topic many of us struggle with.
Ahh yes! My friend showed me the thumbnail from the part 2 gumroad and I've been waiting to see how you do it
Music's low key immaculate

Thanks a lot, James! This was reaaaaaally helpful to understand some drawing concepts.
Thank you, this is truly a life-saver!
This helped me quite a lot. Thanks for the detailed tutorial! I had fun practicing.
(Practiced for 4 hours help me my wrist hurts)
Dude this is good! Thank you for sharing your knowledge 😭
I honestly thought drawing cloth was just easy but now i regret saying that
It looks much more complex and he makes it looks simple
Just about to study drapery today.
he deserved so many subs, consider manking spanish subtitles that will get more people that wants to learn and love to draw mto follow you
it's in the works, 2024 will be a big year over here

my good sir you deserve at least like 10 million more subscribers.
Such an amazing tutorial can’t be ignored.
Idk, why this guy doesn't have like 2 to 3 mil subs.
Great tutorial! Best one I’ve seen on drawing clothes and folds!
Truly great tutorials.
Well explained and easy to follow
Thank you very much.
WOUW, this actually makes sence!! Thanks, I've always had a lot of problems with this.
Thanks James! Very helpful. Now I just need to put these techniques into practice

Thanks, James. This is super informative.
thankyou , it’s so helpful 🥰
Brilliant video, well done James.
Great video! Extremely informative as always
Would love to see some more practical clothing like jeans and hoodies. Or short sleeved polo shorts.
same principles, but because those modern type of clothes tend to be more form fitting you will get tighter and more controlled version of each of these types of folds.
Super informative! Thank you heaps man. Great video!
