How to Draw Anime Clothes

Whenever you draw a person, whether it be a manga or anime character, you will also have to draw their clothes. I always thought that drawing clothes was a bit hard. When I was a young artist, it was hard for me to make the clothes look realistic. Instead they came out looking boxy with little or no form, which made my characters look almost horrible to a point. Let's face it, if you can't draw clothes the right way on your anime/manga characters, your drawings will not come out looking good to your liking. So, that is what this tutorial will be about. I will show you “how to draw anime clothes, step by step”. In this lesson you will not only learn to draw shirts, I will also show you how to draw skirts, pants, and sleeves. All in all the drawing is going to be very helpful for all you artists that want to improve on your skills when it comes to clothes. I actually drew out this tutorial live yesterday, and I did have some good fun. As you can see, there is clothing for boys, girls and even teens. I drew the shirts on two mannequins just to show how they would look on a real anime or manga character. Well, that just about does it for now, I will be back later with some more drawing fun. In the mean time, enjoy your New Years Eve, and have fun learning “how to draw anime clothes, step by step”. Peace peeps!
