Drawing Lessons : How to Draw Folds in Cloth

[david121761]

your hand is very distracting...lol

[x17TheManagement17x]

kay just sayin, this dude looks like a Qui-Gon Jin doppelganger....

[CloudRider999]

these tutorials deserve to be on better than expert village!

[TooMuchForIt]

the last part of the video should show the final piece of work instead of his face

[Fwivo]

u look like coach from survivor!

[TheUkanlosakantor]

Thanks! That help a lot! :D

[spirithelpers]

thank you~

[UnwantedCoffeeBean]

At 2.20 she started to look like pirate, it would've been pretty cool, if she turned out to be a pirate :D

[WTHLOL11]

I didnt know how to even pass the first step!?

[yarzorz]

I am terrible at drawing and see a lot of my friends draw beautifully very naturally. Is drawing a skill that can be learnt? or would is it mostly development from a natural talent?

[RKB344]

@yarzorz Anyone can learn how to draw and sure there are people that are naturally talented at it but it is a skill that can be learned by anyone.

[yarzorz]

@RKB344 Thank you for your insight. I'll keep trying then!

[mangastar23]

@yarzorz a person can't talk at first, but then it learns. You have to learn to do anything. Your friends didn't start out as artists, but they learned and developed, so i'm sure you can too :)

[Sillygoose14111]

Awesome wrok, you're an amazing artist!

[eeveeismyfavpokemon]

where i live lefthanded people are really rare, there are 4 left hands in my grade including me

[supaniceguy1]

am i the only person who feels like its hard to draw that "basic" human figure?

[myassin2009]

@supaniceguy1 Depends on how long you have been at it. When I first attempted drawing the basic human figure it look disfigured. However I kept practicing it for a couple of weeks and now it looks decent. All you have to do is memorize the anatomy. 

[novantha1]

you should make you're own comic

[Destroyer4292]

You and Mark Crilley have the best tutorials ever on youtube.

[echizenn808]

I think you need to film the guy less, and the drawing more -_-

[Miniramprat]

@echizenn808 Well, the man is explaining the how to part of the lesson along with the techniques. So therefore, he is kind of an important part of the titorial.

[denco1951]

Thanks What kind of pencil is that?

[negima50001]

oooooh he foine

[remboy3000]

Wonder why he always uses a mechanical pencil

[chriscsullivan]

@remboy3000 So there's less variation in line width, more economical, better for environment, etc.

[MonarkMetal]

Mister French, you ARE the BEST !

[chibiman101]

you are good. :D

[MrBlazzzzer]

thumps up if your aleft hander tryin to be as awesome as this guy!!

[heyitsjordansmith]

he is a wizard.

[pee29z]

he is good but i am not left handed

[TheAnimeartist96]

she loos muscular lol

[Ascoolasmyusername]

I like your pencil... Thats.sounds a bit creeperish. Anywho, what kind is it? And you end most of your videos end with a smile XD

[abbyghost1]

oh yeah! I'm left handed and I can draw woop woop!!

[BMBiRecreation]

i wish i was left handed..... *CHOPS OF RIGHT HAND* SHUN on YOU right hand....

[MRsHOKAGE1]

@skipachoy ikr.....

[FreaksThe123]

i could do better like making an realistic painting while wearing blindfols and my hand tied behind my back

[medielijah]

Thank you for this awesome video. Keep it up! More issues!!!!

[BlackbearBosin]

Nice perspective tut aswell

[lilawesomejason4]

I was told i was a fantastic drawer by countless people but you're actually better than me

[cindihemmet]

This is very well done. You are quite talented

[MalignantSelfLove]

he's actually great!

[jbaby362]

90s style

[harmonia34]

He has the same pencil as me lol! xD

[omgoshitsnienke]

dude you're a gooood!

[TheCTFProductions]

2:38 why is he drawing a vagina?

[DienesOly]

couldn't you make a more DETAILED model to start? xD

[eckstudios]

first decent expert village video

[xpawnerx]

lol yeah MONKEYS! lol xD

[SuperChibiPoke]

I like this tutorial. It was simple and to the point. I always get confused when it comes to cloth folds and I end up freestyling which ends in what I think it mediocre results. This I can remember easily. Thankies ^_^

[THEFreak704]

you are just the guy i needed YAY!!

[THEhilariousaquarius]

look at all the monkeys in the background

[X911YoYoYo911X]

Well this was awkward.

[inktvis009]

11 people don't have the patience

[BluePuff123]

WHY SHOULD YOU BE ON EXPERT VILLAGE WHY?

[tonichan89]

I like your artstile, it's simple and natural!

[jazzermonk]

it cuts away at some of the best parts...

[sweets683]

wow your realy good thats amazing

[slugdiesuper]

why a girl he he

[kingpen]

@slugdiesuper I get that a lot as well. I don't know why he does it, but I pick the female figure because it is more fluid. With men there are veins, muscle, and sinews to concentrate on.

I end up getting tunnel vision and messing up. ^_^'

[ririri009]

@slugdiesuper because he is dumbass now stop talking and watch the video

[Arsagard]

You are very good at drawing folds and creases and an hour glass body like those marval comics!

[MrsSamyify]

11 people STILL don't know how to draw folds.

[Selestrielle]

Thank you for now drawing her a mini skirt XD

[TheHimeHiro]

aaahw... now I'm even more depressed xD

[helikanimukty]

nice woman in benaughty page  benaughtyman.info

[myashkarine]

I really love the way you mix strong technical skills without losing your spontaneity. Every time I get really serious into drawing I find myself drawing better but losing that quick, easy, fun gesturing. I will watch this video everytime I feel I am getting too stuckup!!!

[YoYo9596]

it looks so realistic

[DreadlockRasta12]

best left handed drawer i've ever seen ;) thumbs up for this man !

[SimsShake]

@DreadlockRasta12 you make it sound as if left-handed people weren't generally as good at drawing as right-handed people, that's not true (^^,)

[DDADROVIC]

@DreadlockRasta12 left handed drawers are naturaly better drawers then right handed, cuz they use other side of ther brain . Im left handed :D

[BleachBunneh]

@DDADROVIC So if I taught myself to write with my left hand I would become better at drawing? :D (My left hand writing is almost neater than my right hand writing. Its sad. xD)

[LE0NSKA]

@DreadlockRasta12 then you haven't seen many

[Chingy892987]

@DreadlockRasta12 Probably because there are't that many left handed artists. They're mostly right handed

[SketchySkotchy]

@DreadlockRasta12

I think majority of left handers tend to be artistic :D

[ShiroiAkari]

@DreadlockRasta12 Best drawer i ever seen! Not only left handed :P

[ofnir123]

Thank you for making this video!

[Godgreenie]

awesome bearded drawing dude, makes awesome drawings

[narutodkt]

i dont get it

[dubaifreak221]

u make it seem so easy :( i wanna draw like that

[NotRetarded123]

@dubaifreak221 1. Get the equipment needed (normal pencils wont do, check the web for what you need) 2. Practise with easy things first and just keep going 3. When your good enough, you'll be able to do this just as easy as him

[yuriogy1]

nice

[2LOLproductions223]

LISTEN EVERYONE!!!!! WHY DON'T YOU ALL SHUT YOUR FAT MOUTHS! HE IS AN AWESOME ARTIST AND HE IS TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE THAT WANT TO LEARN HOW TO DRAW!! SO IF U DON'T LIKE DRAWING THEN Y U EVEN HERE??!!??!! I love drawing with all my heart and HIS videos could help me a lot. Like MOST people should of learned by kindergarten, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything AT ALL.

[2LOLproductions223]

LISTEN EVERYONE!!!!! WHY DON'T YOU ALL SHUT YOUR FAT MOUTHS! HE IS AN AWESOME ARTIST AND HE IS TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE THAT WANT TO LEARN HOW TO DRAW!! SO IF U DON'T LIKE DRAWING THEN Y U EVEN HERE??!!??!! I love drawing with all my heart and HIS videos could help me a lot.

[mulkaroniandcheese]

he kind of looks like chris from jackass

[alwaysright10000]

What's have we here? An expertvilliage video that doesn't completely and utterly suck? And the person in the video actually seems to know what they're doing?

How the hell did that happen?

[pandapenguin32]

I love how it's called expert village, but only half of the people in their videos are actually experts (such as this video!).

[alwaysright10000]

@pandapenguin32

*chuckle*

HALF??!!! ROTFL, not even close.

Ten percent, tops.

[pandapenguin32]

@alwaysright10000 true. true.

[PaulaAbdulJr]

I wanna see him make his own comic. :D

[shadowmuttzr0]

how can u be such a great artist but suck at anime eyes

[PaulaAbdulJr]

@shadowmuttzr0 Theres many different types of artists! :)

[shadowmuttzr0]

@PaulaAbdulJr i know but if hes such a great artist how can he not do such a simple thing like anime eyes i mean he can sketch them cant he theyre way easier than realistic

[PaulaAbdulJr]

@shadowmuttzr0 Hmm...then I guess thats just him! :) I can draw realistic hair yet I can't draw anime hair that good..like, A simple circle, I can't draw THAT either but I can sketch a perfect circle...if that makes sense? haha

[Metalcortaku]

Expert village doesn't deserve to be the showcase for this man's talent.

[Monkeychild41]

I hate everything about drawing folds. Thanks for making them less painful.

[NightHunterClaws]

I find it absolutely selfless of good artists that take the time to show others how to draw, and they'll always be the strangers I most respect.

There is one thing I don't like about this video though: the pan-out to artist in mid-drawing. I'm all for listening to the artist or metaphorically looking them in the face and listening, but if you're drawing for aspiring artists and cut away from the work-in-mid-progress, you're causing an unnecessary hiccup in the tutorial.

Otherwise brilliant!

[shadow500777]

At the end show the end product before you finish.

[msjastad]

Great video!!!

[gill426]

So now I just need to practice. Thanks a lot! :)

You're a really sweet guy and your voice is just so great to listen to, perfect for any tutorial.

Infact, you could read the phone book to me and I'd appreciate it. ;)

[jackpschmid]

I CAN'T SEE THROUGH THE F-ING WRITING IN THE BLACK BOX!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sexxyinuyasha]

@jackpschmid i know right??!! its annoying not being able to see what hes talking about. i'm surprised not that many ppl have complained about this >:(

[jackpschmid]

@sexxyinuyasha I just wish that i could see what hes drawing.He should have his own channel! it is like this on every expert village vid!

[TheMalici0usM0nk3y]

@jackpschmid THEN F-ING TURN IT OFF!

gah its not that hard dude

[emodude12099]

R WE IN THE MID 90'SSS COOL BUT JUST TOO OLD FASHION... : P

[heartinvestments]

I can't see anything through the text!

[weponized]

oh this guy can draw,,, his anime eyes made me think he was useless..

[Zadeass]

what kind of pencil is that and where could i find one?

[Nerdabilities]

@Zadeass He uses a 0.5 mechanical led pencil. With twist-up eraser.

[Zadeass]

@Nerdabilities thanks

[mandy4candy101]

omg i thought it was i girl body at first. mayb uz the chest nd curves

[pants7]

Makes me wish i could draw...

[Mrpivot5000]

[cmonneah]

[ChibiSugar]

@yenichromatic

It's destiny.

[SethKotta]

@yenichromatic Not the kind of optimism that would be expected, but regardless. Keep the faith.

[Chingy892987]

@yenichromatic Lol, remember, it's not the tool that makes the artist

[Brandonmaimusic]

JayFrenchStudioes

[MainGuy007]

He only shows the basic of this.

You can make more Details.

Then it looks better..

But i dont wanna look a video of 30 minutes..

Do you?

[JaasterMareel]

i will not say i can do better than him, i would say im doing many things in a different way then he does. But i its never too late to learn something new, istnt it?

[MainGuy007]
