It looks almost perfect..

but looks like the cloth is hard.. the folds are hard edged and forced
I practice cloth folds by putting a towel (or something equally soft) on a sofa (preferably with armrests), and drawing that.. as a reference.

good luck!

thank you, i will try that 3nodding

You can manipulate the cloth as you like, esp on the armrest to get as many, or less folds as you like..

[Zeraphine]

that is a good idea. till now i only draw picture like these using images from a fashion magazine, because i myself dont have clothes like that

top ones my favorite wish i had a dress like that, sooooo cute. xp

Those are really good! I hope you continue on drawing fabric/dresses/clothes! You've got a talent for it!

[Satsu Ninja]

hmm maybe put it on a fake person to make them look better.

i think you should add sum mor stuff around the waist part on Dress 1... ^-^

I love Dress 1. I love its uneven and jagged tones, it makes it more feminene and sexy. The uneven lengths makes the illusion of longer legs. Dress 2 has a very medevil and feminene look. It looks very vintage and fluffy. I think you should really pursue the arts and designing clothes. Many people will respect and love your artworks. Good Job. biggrin 3nodding

I like the second on the best. It looks as if the one half is being held up by a hand, or it could be if you draw a person in it.
I would make the shading a tad bit softer, and don't forget to add highlights. It sounds silly to add them on clothes, but lights hit fabrics too! wink

[Akiralta]

The only thing you could do is draw a person in them. You did very well on the folds.

[Zeraphine]

thanks, poeple.
my goal was to draw folds, not poeple though, because i am really not good at drawing faces and arms and so on.

oh, and these arent desgined by me. they are drawn after seing them in a fashion magazin, and then trying to remeber how they looked like. so no points for the design to me

Excellent, you work similarly like I do. I too started drawing folds just for the folds.. I messed around with different materials to see how they react and fold..
