Russian Drawing Course 6: Drapery

In this lesson, you will learn how to construct and render the Spiral Fold– another fold commonly seen in loose-fitting sleeves and pant legs. Building on the Zig-Zag fold from the last lesson, you will expand on your ability to describe drapery over form and use your knowledge from previous lessons to describe the movement and weight of fabric over a cylindrical form.

This lesson includes both the reference image used in the lecture as well as a 3d model of the plaster cast for your assignment.
