Although I dont have anything to submit, (and the submit seems closed anyway.) Do you have any tips on how to draw suits? Ive used references, but I still dont feel like I have the hang of it.

This was from a while back but I’ve gathered some suit references to help! aaa. 

Drawing suits is different than “regular” clothes, I guess, because there’s a specific way for them to look. Very sharp and angular! So when I block in creases, I tend to use triangular or boxy shapes instead of soft curves, to give it a crisper look! 

I also don’t use TOO many creases because that can muddy up the simplified style I tend to work in. For more realistic styles, or detail-oriented styles, definitely look towards something like this:

(Same person. This is their blog; only japanese but you can glean most of it from auto-translation)

An exercise you might consider doing is taking a pillow you’ve got and twisting or punching it a few times, then drawing the outcomes. The pillowcase has a sheen to it that looks like suit fabric. Although it might be a bit thinner than a suit fabric, you still get that cloth fold you can practice from!

hope this isn't too annoying but you do have any tips for drawing teeth? i l o v e the way you draw them but i can't seem to draw fangs that well :/

I've seen some amazing tutorials for teeth which explain much more about how teeth fit in the skill, which is very useful! But this is a very quick explanation of how I do Teeth! I don't often outline teeth too hard, unless I'm doing tusks, since the gums and teeth edges suggest pretty well without em!

I’ve been studying the classic black tie dress code (mainly from here) so I thought I could share my notes. Maybe they can be helpful to someone else, too. If I made any mistakes or things are really confusing please tell me.  I also have some notes on white tie which I could share as well…

another art tutorial post :) this time it’s for rainbow effects
