What it concludes

• Drawing form before drapery helps establish the body structure and flow.
• Following the flow of lines from shoulders and elbows helps create a natural rhythm in clothing.
• Heavier or thicker fabrics create harsher shapes and silhouettes, while lighter fabrics create organic and flowing shapes.
• Tension points occur wherever fabric is pulled taut, creating stronger highlights and folds.
• Using personal stylization tools like the mixer brush adds unique texture and flair to digital paintings.
