Author Description

In this follow-up to the acclaimed Anatomy for Artists: Drawing Form & Pose (over 30,000 copies sold to date), figure-drawing maestro Tom Fox takes a deep dive into the subjects of clothing and drapery. Using his unique approach of simplified mannequins and dynamic figure sketches, Tom shares his process for improving your figures holistically, understanding fabric physics, and capturing the fold, stretch, and crumple of believable clothing. With over 300 pages packed with Tom's engaging drawings and accessible instruction, Drawing Clothed Characters is a perfect companion to Drawing Form & Pose, as well as an invaluable standalone resource in its own right. Available alongside this book is a companion publication called Workbook: Drawing Clothed Characters, which features 200 pages of accessible instructions and figures to draw over on the pages, allowing the reader to practise the theory put forth in this main book.
