Steampunk Costume Drawing | Studio Hours with Steven Michael Hampton

Steampunk costume drawing, four of them, start to finish and no narration. This is the first Studio Hours: just the drawing, some music, and the full process from blank page to finished costume. No lecture. You watch the decisions get made in real time. Costumes like these are really a problem of fabric. There's a figure underneath holding everything up, but most of what you're reading is the cloth. Frock coats, bustled skirts, corsetry, the layered Victorian silhouette. The clothed figure rarely gets demonstrated honestly, and it is most of what we actually draw. What this video covers: steampunk costume construction from photo reference building the clothed figure over an underlying gesture frock coat and tailored menswear structure bustled skirts, corsetry, and layered Victorian silhouettes reading fabric folds as they fall on the body digital figure drawing, full process The fold is the whole thing. If you understand where a fabric is anchored and where gravity takes it, you can draw it. If you do not, you are guessing. That is what my new Drapery Fundamentals course on Proko gets into, fold by fold. NEW COURSE: Drapery Fundamentals → https://www.proko.com/course/drapery-...
