How do you draw clothing on a real person figure?

Question

I've recently gotten into figure drawing (just a hobby) and I want to find a good website where I can learn to draw clothing...I am hopeless in this area.

Answer 1

much much better then any tutorial is to start really looking at people.
Get yourself a sketch book and a nice pen and sit somewhere where there are people and draw them. don't worry about how good they look or how perfect they are just play with it. look at how clothes wrap around the body-you always have to think of your figures as three dimentional never flat. draw the clothes as if they are litteraly wrapping around the character's bodies.
Conceptart.org is one of my favorite sites to visit- it has an excelent sketchbook thread and if you post your work there are always wonderful people who are willing to tell you where your having trouble just be ready for honnesty, it isn't one of thoes sites where people just say ZOMG that's so HAWT - you'll get very honnest critics.
The best way to learn to draw is by observing life.
good luck

Answer 2

Practice first by using tracing paper. when you come up with some nice articles of clothing then transfer them on to the drawing. You can find art books on fabrics and drapery. Or look under fashion art, textile art or something of that nature to help you visualize different textures and fabrics.

Answer 3

I love About.com for their information on drawing.
Try the links below...I'm glad you like drawing clothing (I don't like drawing fabrics!)
