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

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

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.A. Loomis A. LoomisA. LoomisA. LoomisC. Young22 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.

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.

A concise approach to possibly every fabric fold imaginable. I thought it was value for money.

Buena calidad y cantidad de contenido

Excellent reference for modelling and sculpting your own figures

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.

Recomiendo sinceramente a todo aquél que desee comprender las cuestiones fundamentales del dibujo cualquier obra de Burne Hogarth.En lo que a mí respecta,nunca,antes,había comprendido lo que ahora.Gracias Sr Burne.

Livre très bien détaillé qui commence par expliquer la mécanique du corps pour comprendre d'ou viennent les tensions qui causes ces plis sur les vêtements, et ensuite explique de manière plus spécifique toutes les formes de plis, directs out indirect.
