Rihla's Sketchbook

[Rihla]

I'm having trouble constructing and painting clothing - and I think this has to do with my drawing/ sketching skills as well as my painting skills. I think a higher volume of sketching and drawing would be beneficial, as well as painting studies.

Fabric and folding are pretty logical when you are taught the variation but if you have no concept of what are the different type well it seem more like trial and error. It still a complex subject because of tension, twisting and folding that can really require a good deal of observation.

Drawing cloth from observation is not a problem once you master value control it doesn't even really need logic... but it does really start to become a complex subject when you make subject matter from imagination because that where if you leak the logic you cannot make inform decision.

Nice update! The values are on point as always, and it's very well drawn and painted. Regarding the hair, something I learned was to think of them as 'ribbons' first before detailing them, so group them accordingly and don't focus too much on each individual stran too early in the painting process.

Keep up the great work!
