Dynamic Wrinkles and Drapery: Solutions for Drawing the Clothed Figure (Practical Art Books)

A great book to teach you about the physics of the fabrics, very logic explanations and good examples. Many different situations to teach you the basics so you can extrapolate to every environment. A must if you want to improve the fabrics of your universe ^w^

The first really accessible and practical description on drawing and modelling draped figures I've found. Very clear, and worth every penny.

I really hate to give a negative slant to any review, or to damn-with-faint-praise, especially when the author is an acknowledged expert in his field. However, the style of presentation of the subject matter is that of a children's comic with much less visual or intellectual impact than the Dandy or Beano. The text is almost an irrelevance and imparts hardly any information to the reader. When compared to 'Drawing Drapery from Head to Toe' by Cliff Young this runs a very poor second even given that Young's book is a slim 48 pages, it is certainly not to be mentioned in the same breath as any of the excellent works by Andrew Loomis now available as wonderful quality reprints. Perhaps I'm being a trifle unfair to Mr Hogarth, after all the book's contents are not bad, but that is how it seems to me. Figure Drawing for All it's Worth A. Loomis Drawing the Head and Hands A. Loomis Successful Drawing A. Loomis Creative Illustration A. Loomis Drawing Drapery from Head to Toe C. Young 22 August 2012: Having had this volume a little while now, I feel an update is necessary. Although I still prefer the volumes listed above I have had time to more fully appraise 'Dynamic Wrinkles....' and am pleased to admit that Burne Hogarth has it about right [I can just hear the great man's sigh of relief at my endorsement;)]. I still find the illustrations somewhat 'Bumper Book for Boys' in style, however, his analysis and explanation of the various stresses to which fabrics are subjected and the effects upon them are first-rate. This is one of the few occasions it does not pain me to eat humble, or even umble, pie and I am happy to recommend this volume almost as enthusiastically as the above listed.

Excellent book for artists studying the techniques of figure drawing in clothes.

Very good book lots of images Very usefull book Very happy customer

useful

Ok but for some reason didn't attract me to read ( presentation ). However contents did drivei most useful

A nice introduction into how to draw wrinkles and drapery in clothes. The text seems somewhat out of kilter with the illustrations, which often contain more helpful information, such as arrows showing the way folds fall and stretch. Hogarth is no doubt an excellent artist, but perhaps not such a good author. The illustrations although superb are very dated.

躍動感あるイラストを目指すために皺を知る必要があると思います。洋服などの「皺の流れ」を知る事ができます。前までは、皺なんて写真見たり、ちょっと考えれば描けると思っていたのですが、どうも皺に見えずにいました。この本を購入しなんとなく突破口が見えて来た気がします。 絵的にはデフォルメされている気がするタッチですが、皺に関しては細かく描かれています。これでもかと言うくらいに皺の着いた洋服が出てきますが、改めて考えるとそれは当然であって、それこそがリアリティを求める一つの手法のように思えます。 カラーは無くほぼデッサンでまとめられていますが、キッチリとしたデッサンで陰影もしっかりと表現されているので、皺の影響による陰影をみることもできますし、なんと言っても自然の「皺の流れ」を知る事ができます。この本で皺を学んでから改めて、写真などを見ると発見があるかもしれません。

Good book

Buena calidad y cantidad de contenido

I flipped through the book after ordering to see what kind of art tool/reference I had gotten my hands on. Turns out I got a gem. (Well as far as I am concerned) Who knew that wrinkles in cloths, could make such a HUGE (I cannot emphasize this enough!!!) difference. All of this artist characters look so lively and realistic.. and some of the ladies in the book actually look voluptuous and the guys look all rugged and manly. And' its really the outfits and the way there drawn out, that make all the difference in the world. Honestly from flipping through front to back, this looks like it will be an extremely useful tool for myself if I put my nose to the grind stone. I am truly impressed by the artist work. Mr. Burne Hogarth really kicks some butt and knows what he is doing.(The back of the books cover tells of what hes currently up to, and about some rewards he has received) I will definitely be checking out his other books after seeing this.(When I get the cash...) Because I feel like even though I draw just for the fun of it, I feel like I would be doing myself wrong by not looking at the others. This book is just that good. (From the Images) I have not read the book yet. But drawing is about visuals, so that is what I am going from. There is about an equal amount of text vs art. You will have to check out the other reviews as far as how good things are explained in the book.

ich bin sehr zufrieden, es ist sehr lehrreich und hilfreich für meine Malereien. Ich kann es auf alle Fälle empfehlen. Nur schade das es in englisch ist.
