Some tips about sleeves




At the request of Davina, some stuff about sleeves. She asked me for a tutorial on fabric, folds and drapery, and even though I really have nothing new on the subject that doesn’t just come from practicing, here’s what I do to draw sleeves. I’ve never put together a tutorial before, so you might have to ignore badness in formatting and font choice (and also messy drawings, I did this kinda quick ‘n dirty so I hope everything is clear enough). I hope it’s even marginally helpful to someone out there!
For more on general folds and clothing drapery, feel free to check out my buddy Solfi’s excellent drapery tutorial. Everything I could say on the subject, she’s already mentioned in there, and probably a lot more clearly, too. :)
