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.
I ordered this book along with “Drawing Dynamic Hands,” also by Hogarth (it’s excellent as well). I’d been doing mostly figure study, and it was time to make the jump to clothing. I realized I had no idea what a wrinkle looked like (you’d never guess that from my clothes!). This is a really great book! It’s always easier to practice using interpretations that have been filtered through the eyes of other artists. Hogarth’s style is exaggerated, but this is exactly what makes this book a great learning tool and reference. I do understand how someone could be put-off by this type of illustration, but I feel the principals shown in the book can be applied to other styles as well. I happen to like this style of illustration — it’s probably nostalgia on my part; I grew up reading comics illustrated by Burne Hogarth — but I was worried that it was inadequate for learning fine-art. I find now that I was wrong about Hogarth as a teacher. His books have helped me improve my technique, without changing my style overmuch. His exaggerations illustrate and teach the concepts well, without requiring one to duplicate them.

Though I haven’t had time to really read through this book, I have skimmed through it, and there seems to be much information, and many illustrations and examples. I cannot imagine that anyone interested in learning how to properly produce draping/wrinkles in their work wouldn’t benefit from this book. It arrived on time and in good condition. I’d order again.

I purchased this book to get an idea of how to sculpt realistic wrinkles on 3D clothing using software like Mudbox and ZBrush. Some of the illustrations show rather exaggerated wrinkling to get the point across, but I think that if you use this book along with photo reference of actual wrinkling, you can achieve very realistic effects. Copiously illustrated, great tips, high quality paper and reproduction. Often available at a reasonable price on the used market, a valuable addition to to the library of any artist who has to portray realistic clothing on the human figure.

Dynamic Wrinkles and Drapery by Burne Hogarth is another must have for any artist, as are all of Hogarth’s books. The way shoes crease over the foot of a figure dancing, how shirts gather at the armpits when the figure is twisting, these are just a miniscule example of what you will find in this book. Whether it is cloth hanging on a window, a cape blowing in the wind or a woman’s long skirt Hogarth shows how to draw it. The sketches are wonderful in themselves, but also invaluable as quick references as to how external materials behave when they are static or in motion. Rags, uniforms, gowns, togas, bundles, men’s three piece suits, these are just a few of the things Hogarth uses to illustrate how things look. His no nonsense explanations and instructions are to the point, without being stark or clipped. What he says is not only interesting, it makes sense. Many of the drawing have arrows showing the direction of force being applied to material so the artist can learn to anticipate folds and drapes in other compositions. For an artist in the throes of creating a quick look at Hogarth’s motion arrows can be the greatest of helps when you are suddenly fuddled by how some external should fall or drape. Some of the sketches in this book have partial backgrounds and these give context to the figures movement. The drawings span the spectrum from inspiring to mysterious and are wonderful in themselves as artistic renderings.

As most Hogarth’s books, this one is not at the least descriptive. The drawings are a bit more frequent, and you may find it useful. Some of the drawing I did not enjoy too much, but, all-in-all, they still demonstrate the proper material. The author provides 4 decent approaches to the illustration of wrinkles in different situations, mostly differenting dependent on the type of physical movement the character (human, in all cases) makes. Most of the book talks about drapery, but there is some information on how to apply the same principles onto skin.
This is a must-have for a character designer, whether you work in 2D or 3D. It will provide a beginning artist with the basic understanding of the dynamics of drapery and clothes, but it won’t be much use for a medium-to-experienced studio artist, especially when she/he draws from life.

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。
