Folds are mysterious and elusive. They attract us with their colors, their textures, and their intricate shapes, and they intrigue us as they hide and reveal the human form. Their ever-changing character seems to give them a life of their own, but they keep their logic hidden. Folds have always been an important and striking element of figurative painting, and through the ages, artists have studied folds both to capture their beauty and to clothe the figures in their paintings more convincingly. In this book, I unravel the mysteries of folds. And because figure drawing and light and shade are so important when drawing the folds in clothed figures, I have included chapters on these topics as well. The important topic of fashion is beyond the scope of this book, but the knowledge you gain about folds will serve you well in illustrating any fashion you choose.
