What Pieces Of Clothing Do You Like To Draw?

dolphinprincess · Posted: Sun Sep 04, 2005 1:53 pm Post subject:

I have a few favorite pieces of clothing that I add to my characters when I'm drawing.
1) Gloves. Black ones usually, fingerless. No matter what, I always have to have more then one character wearing them. Like my character Ray.
2) Hooped earrings. Large ones, that gyspies usually wear. Usually gold colored. Again, I point to Ray.
3) Sleeveless shirts. I have more then 8 characters that are sleeveless. I can't stand drawing sweaters, or even T-shirts for that matter. *sigh* I'm talking about Ray again.
4) Flared pants/jeans. I'm wearing some right now. Most of my characters wear flared pants/jeans. And yes, Ray wears flared pants.

Ray wears all of my favorite pieces of clothing. *thinks for a moment*

Why am I always talking about Ray?

Uniforms are great fun. I like girl's uniforms since you can have so much fun with them.

I never understood perverted mens' fascination with girls wearing highschool uniforms :/ I really like girls/women in suits, (business suits) though. ^_^

Cloaks and capes! Absolutely. First off, they're easy to draw, second, drawing fold are fun, third they block the other shirts and pants which means less drawing (I know I'm just being lazy, but that's me)

Most of my characters are sort of Mod, so I'll put them in minidresses or go-go boots.

I like drawing huge fuzzy socks, they're fun.

I agree with your, Brian. The perverse fanboys's regard of uniforms is, well, perverse. I think they're fun to design, but when you've got someone bursting out of a top, that's just dumb.

I agree with you, Brian and Reina.

Layering on any article of clothing, like a tank top on top of a striped sweater..:3

Oh, Brad you're right. Layering is fun. I like leg warmers, too, lol. I'm such an eighties geek.

Cloaks, capes, and long jackets are evil. I can never get the folds to look right. I'm fond of drawing hoodies, jeans, chunky shoes, and random accessories. Any excuse to add striped articles of clothing is good too. I heart scarves.

I like drawing dresses, skirts, and oddly-cut shirts.

Jewelry. I remembered today that I like random jewelery to hang from clothing/body parts. Sometimes that's the only thing they're wearing--the dangling jewelery. I ought to upload that picture.

I have this fascination with things that flow, so my personal favourites are scarves and capes. I love ribbons, too, but since the majority of my subjects are male, I can't exactly get a lot with using as much ribbon as I'd like... Or maybe too much ribbon...

And then, for characters that don't happen to be fantasy-oriented, I love baggy clothing. Smile

So they usually get big turtlenecks. <3 Or hoodies.

oh yeah, scarves, there's something about them that makes even the toughest looking character look "soft" or "on our side" I use it for my evil antagonist Smile

Boots are always fun to draw. You have the laces, the extended tounge and ankle, the chunky sole, all that good stuff.

I do have a fetish for dragon wings but those aren't an article of clothing now are they..[/quote]
No, but they would require altering the upper-body clothing to allow those extra limbs, you know? ;)

As a creature artist, you know I don't drape clothes over the creatures I draw Laughing

But in those times I do, unless I have a specific design to follow, I try to choose something that feels coherent with the type of character/creature portrayed:

http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-129798.html
Theme: Natural
Clothes: Cape/mantle

http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-123043.html
Theme: Modern military
Clothes: Formal shirt (with accommodation for wings), standard jeans and shoes/boots

http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-127992.html
Theme: FF7 Yuffie
Clothes: Tank-top, short shorts, and a mantle over her left arm

http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-129975.html
Theme: Standard Fantasy/RPG
Clothes: Leather shirt, jeans, boots, mantle over left side

http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-144147.html
Theme: Floral
Clothes: (a specific design supplied by the requestor)

http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-178843.html
Theme: Zeliard PC game
Clothes: All referenced from the game - blue platemail with gold trim, red helmet with white decor, brown boots, green undertunic and Asbestos Cape (an item from the game).

http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-218640.html
Theme: Modern Aquatic
Clothes: Spandex

Apparently I've used clothing designs more often than I thought I did. But each one's a different story, so ultimately I don't have a common 'theme' for them.
