3. Step-by-Step Guide to Drawing Clothes

Step 1: Start with Basic Shapes

Begin by sketching the outline of your character. Focus on getting the body shape right so the clothing naturally follows the form.

Step 2: Draw Clothing Fit and Style

Decide if the clothing will be loose, fitted, or layered. The VK1200 V2’s responsiveness makes it easy to experiment with these options, helping you explore different styles until you find the right fit.

Folds add realism to clothing. Study how fabric behaves on real clothes, and use the pressure sensitivity of the Studio 16 to control the line weight, adding dimension to your lines for a natural effect.

Step 4: Enhance with Texture

Textures like denim, cotton, or silk bring richness to your work. The Veikk Studio 16’s large, high-resolution screen gives you space to create fine textures. Experiment with brushes to capture the unique look of each fabric.

Shadows and highlights give clothing depth. The VK1200 V2’s color accuracy is great for exploring light and shadow, adding realistic shaping to your clothing designs.
