Author Michael Massen presents his thorough and novel approach to drapery by first describing clothing and drapery as basic shapes and then illustrating how the mechanics of physics cause these shapes to bend, fold, or wrinkle in predictable ways. Expanding upon these principles, the book details how to use these concepts to render all types of clothing in any medium. Fully illustrated techniques and examples from old world and contemporary masters, from Raphael to Walt Disney, make this book the definitive text on the subject of rendered clothing and drapery and a comprehensive resource.
