![]() the camera is above the group, looking down at the central figure – that central figure laying on the floor is not foreshortened, because it’s laying flat and kind of directly facing the “camera,” but all the figures standing up around it have to be foreshortened bc their heads are much closer to the viewer than their feet. ![]() So here’s an example of a wip layout where i had to figure out a bunch of bodies in perspective. The thing w ref tho, and i think this comes out with exaggerated posing/foreshortening even more often than usual, is sometimes u can really faithfully follow ref and stuff STILL looks bad/wonky/just OFF – because sometimes in real life things just look dumb! that’s how it is! that’s when it becomes our job to just fudge it, and a reliable way to do that is by returning to basic construction. (i always feel kind of goofy when i’m taking my own ref but like, nobody ever has to see it. if you can’t find reference that suits what you’re drawing, try to take it yourself – this can be tricky w foreshortened poses but if u have a housemate etc who can help you it’s worth it. DRAWING CLOAKS AND CAPES HOW TOThe first one is one i’m sure you already know about and that everyone is sick of hearing but i’m reiterating it anyway bc it’s just that important: REFERENCE!!! ref ref ref!!!! even though the intent is often to exaggerate or stylize well past what ref can offer, it’s still a great way to train yourself and to start to build up a kind of visual library in your head of how certain body parts tend to behave in perspective, what overlaps look like and how to stylize them, etc. Get nearer the neck as gravity makes the hood rest onĬ.Sure! it’s a complex thing that i’m sure other ppl have covered more thoroughly/coherently than i have, but i can try to throw together some quick notes on the stuff i tend to keep in mind. Leave enough room around the head, especially as you “circle” near the face and another “circle”ī. Just draw a straight line behind the head thatĬonnects that two “triangles” on either side ofĬapes are nothing fancy – think of the drawingĪ shirt except that it opens in the middle.ĭrawing hoods are a bit tricky but all you really need to keep in mind is that:Ī. It will lookĪ bit like a triangle in the end. Of the face which widen as you go upwards. Just basically draw two lines on the left and right side ![]() Nothing fancy.Īs far as drawing the Collared capes, you High Collars are anything higher than the ear. Low Collars are until just beneath the ear. There are several types of capes: Low Collar, High Collar, Hooded, and Plain. Roughly look like a triangle except with curvy When drawing a cape like this, all you have toĭo is draw rounded lines that will in the end The left example, on the other hand, has the cape flapping Which makes the cape “outline” the character’sįigure and wrap itself around the person. The right example,įor instance, has the wind blowing from behind the person Notice that at the bottom, theĬape moves upwards a bit since the rest of theĪnother force that you have to consider is the wind.įirst thing you have to consider is where is the wind blowing? Up? Down? Left? Right? …?įrom there, draw the cape accordingly. Again, folds have to move or be drawn according Meanwhile, the right most example has the person pulling Two new forces are more than gravity so asįolds now have to be drawn towards the higher It becomes a bit more complicated when more than one force In semi-circle type lines and several straight lines Usually folds near the neck where all the cloth is gathered Gravity constantly pulls down on a cape as When drawing a cape, you have to consider gravity and force. Most of the times, characters have the wide cape as opposed to the thin and medium widths. completely covering the shoulder, possibly so far as covering the whole body too). a little wider than the shoulder – passing the shoulder a bit), and wide (i.e. exact shoulder length or a bit smaller), medium (i.e. The next thing you should consider about a cape is it’s width. Pretty bizarre if a knight has a short cape! Long lengths though you may go for something different and Most characters usually has the Medium and ![]() Length size may vary starting from the left What you first got to consider when drawing a cape is the ![]()
