I was asked to put together a tutorial on clothing. I figured my goal shouldn't be to show you how to draw clothes. There's too many styles. So I thought it would be more useful to show you how clothes behave on the body. That way you can at least get the physics right and design whatever you want.

Step 1: Draw a basic figure

When you first draw your character don't worry about putting clothes on yet. Instead, make sure you have them fleshed out correctly (see the body tutorial if you need help with proportions).

Here Ive included lines to help me place the waistline, boots and sleeves but no details yet.
