Trans-Vietnamese Artbook Project

*Cadybrille:iconCadybrille: reports, July 9
Dear friends,
In the animated atmosphere of gradually growing Vietnamese comics in the year 2009, I feel so surprised and hopeful about our comics in the future. The reason is that many young artists appear and show off their talents - That is everyone's long-awaited pride. Along with GreenFarm, Manzin and the forthcoming Truyện Tranh Việt Online, Vietnamese comics is believed to be better and move to a higher phase.

Therefore, in order to warm up the air as well as to creat an interesting and realistic activity for all young artists, basing on the idea of Kaboom Ink on DeviantART, =Clap-san and I really hope to lauch a campaign:
Trans-Vietnam Artbook

I wish and believe that this artbook will be supported by all of you. Let’s show to the international friends the joy and unity of our Vietnamese-comics community! ^_^

The Art of the Drape

*Darkdesyre:iconDarkdesyre: reports, February 14, 2008
Many times students tell me that they have nothing to draw at home (yes I always find this hard to believe as well). I have often suggested that they tack a piece of cloth or a sheet up on the wall and to draw from it. Its an excellent way to improve your problem solving skills with drawing. When I teach drawing, I always set up what I affectionately call the.. "drapery study from hell" for the students to draw from, which consists of 7-8 sheets and fabric swatches of differing color and value which I twist and tack up on the wall.

The benefit of this exercise is it improves your ability to draw a complex object. I tell my students to approach it almost as an abstract. Start by blocking in the big areas of light, dark and medium value... and then subdivide these areas into smaller more complex shapes.. until you finally divide it into the smallest values. Think of it as a giant puzzle where everything has to fit together.

Its an excellent exercise in drawing and one I hope you'll be inspired to attempt.

Here are some wonderful examples of drapery studies!











Feel free to post any links to additional drapery studies out there that you may have done... I only did a brief search on DA and found these great examples. Once you master drawing drapery.. you need never fear draping a nude figure again!

Drapes are a nightmare, but no doubt more though fear of tackling the problem then actually going ahead and trying.

I don't do drapery studies, though I love adding flowy drapery to my manga style drawings! =D It's rare to see people who appreciate this particular feature in drawings and paintings. Interesting tribute!
