Description
Discover how to accurately render vibrant, realistic clothing with this unique and informative guide featuring drawings and diagrams from the acclaimed cartoonist hailed as the “Michelangelo of the comic strip.” In Dynamic Wrinkles and Drapery, Burne Hogarth, famous for his dynamic style, shows how to depict wrinkles, folds, and drapery through a series of extraordinary drawings and diagrams. His fundamental concept is that an accurate rendering of wrinkle patterns depends on understanding how the actions of a figure affect any material. With his informative and entertaining illustrations, Hogarth has created a landmark resource by clearly explaining a topic that has long been difficult to explain and often overlooked. Dynamic Wrinkles and Drapery covers: • kinetic forces • direct thrust wrinkles • bend wrinkles • crossing wrinkles • wrinkle texture and material • and more! Burne Hogarth’s unique teaching methods in Dynamic Wrinkles and Drapery, part of his comprehensive Dynamic Drawing Series, are indispensable for every professional artist, art student, teacher, painter, sculptor, illustrator, cartoonist, animator, and serious amateur. Burne Hogarth’s masterful Dynamic Drawing Series is an invaluable resource for any artist: DRAWING DYNAMIC HANDS • DRAWING THE HUMAN HEAD • DYNAMIC ANATOMY • DYNAMIC FIGURE DRAWING • DYNAMIC LIGHT AND SHADE • DYNAMIC WRINKLES AND DRAPERY Read more

Awesome
Format: Paperback
I flipped through the book after ordering to see what kind of art tool/reference I had gotten my hands on. Turns out I got a gem. (Well as far as I am concerned) Who knew that wrinkles in cloths, could make such a HUGE (I cannot emphasize this enough!!!) difference. All of this artist characters look so lively and realistic.. and some of the ladies in the book actually look voluptuous and the guys look all rugged and manly. And' its really the outfits and the way there drawn out, that make all the difference in the world. Honestly from flipping through front to back, this looks like it will be an extremely useful tool for myself if I put my nose to the grind stone. I am truly impressed by the artist work. Mr. Burne Hogarth really kicks some butt and knows what he is doing.(The back of the books cover tells of what hes currently up to, and about some rewards he has received) I will definitely be checking out his other books after seeing this.(When I get the cash...) Because I feel like even though I draw just for the fun of it, I feel like I would be doing myself wrong by not looking at the others. This book is just that good. (From the Images) I have not read the book yet. But drawing is about visuals, so that is what I am going from. There is about an equal amount of text vs art. You will have to check out the other reviews as far as how good things are explained in the book.

Magical!
Format: Paperback
Dynamic Wrinkles and Drapery by Burne Hogarth is another must have for any artist, as are all of Hogarth's books. The way shoes crease over the foot of a figure dancing, how shirts gather at the armpits when the figure is twisting, these are just a miniscule example of what you will find in this book. Whether it is cloth hanging on a window, a cape blowing in the wind or a woman's long skirt Hogarth shows how to draw it. The sketches are wonderful in themselves, but also invaluable as quick references as to how external materials behave when they are static or in motion. Rags, uniforms, gowns, togas, bundles, men's three piece suits, these are just a few of the things Hogarth uses to illustrate how things look. His no nonsense explanations and instructions are to the point, without being stark or clipped. What he says is not only interesting, it makes sense. Many of the drawing have arrows showing the direction of force being applied to material so the artist can learn to anticipate folds and drapes in other compositions. For an artist in the throes of creating a quick look at Hogarth's motion arrows can be the greatest of helps when you are suddenly fuddled by how some external should fall or drape. Some of the sketches in this book have partial backgrounds and these give context to the figures movement. The drawings span the spectrum from inspiring to mysterious and are wonderful in themselves as artistic renderings.

Good book with Great Examples
Format: Paperback
This book does a great job in not only explaining wrinkles and drapery but also illustrating it. This book is a great compliment to my collection. It arrived as describe and very quick.

I neglected Hogarth as a teacher for too long!
Format: Paperback
I ordered this book along with "Drawing Dynamic Hands," also by Hogarth (it's excellent as well). I'd been doing mostly figure study, and it was time to make the jump to clothing. I realized I had no idea what a wrinkle looked like (you'd never guess that from my clothes!). This is a really great book! It's always easier to practice using interpretations that have been filtered through the eyes of other artists. Hogarth's style is exaggerated, but this is exactly what makes this book a great learning tool and reference. I do understand how someone could be put-off by this type of illustration, but I feel the principals shown in the book can be applied to other styles as well. I happen to like this style of illustration -- it's probably nostalgia on my part; I grew up reading comics illustrated by Burne Hogarth -- but I was worried that it was inadequate for learning fine-art. I find now that I was wrong about Hogarth as a teacher. His books have helped me improve my technique, without changing my style overmuch. His exaggerations illustrate and teach the concepts well, without requiring one to duplicate them.

Student Artist-Modeler-Animator:
Format: Paperback
As most Hogarth's books, this one is not at the least descriptive. The drawings are a bit more frequent, and you may find it useful. Some of the drawing I did not enjoy too much, but, all-in-all, they still demonstrate the proper material. The author provides 4 decent approaches to the illustration of wrinkles in different situations, mostly differenting dependent on the type of physical movement the character (human, in all cases) makes. Most of the book talks about drapery, but there is some information on how to apply the same principles onto skin. This is a must-have for a character designer, whether you work in 2D or 3D. It will provide a beginning artist with the basic understanding of the dynamics of drapery and clothes, but it won't be much use for a medium-to-experienced studio artist, especially when she/he draws from life.

Very helpful
Format: Paperback
The book begins with nudes in various action poses showing the muscles. This helps identify the locations where bulging muscles will act as the hanging point for clothes and then you can see where wrinkles will develop. Then Hogarth shows with clothed figures how the direction of motion affects the shape of wrinkled clothes. Often figures have an excess of material draping them. He provides many examples of the direction and location of the wrinkles. Once you have sketched the posture of the subject, this book helps you think of how the clothing will hang and whether that will convey the look you are trying to achieve.

Good in Theory, But Not in Practice
Format: Paperback
This book is rich with technical information on the various kinds of wrinkles and folds you find in clothing. It explains how, if the limbs are moving a certain way, you're going to get a certain kind of wrinkle, radiating in a certain direction. It sounds good in theory, but only if you can understand what the artist is talking about. The text was overly technical, to the point of being confusing. Sometimes, it actually seemed as if he was randomly stringing fancy words together, just to produce intelligent-sounding sentences. For example, "In this drawing, the crossing wrinkles in the arms and legs of the upper climbing figure reflect the texture of the materials, especially in the angular crossing wrinkles of the body jacket, which appear to be the most pervasively fractious and resistant to stresses." I figured out what he meant, but it's a peculiar way of describing the wrinkles in a rock-climber's clothing. There are tons of illustrations to demonstrate the artist's techniques, but I didn't find them very helpful. What would have been helpful? Diagrams showing how to draw the folds and wrinkles. For example, where to place the shadows and highlights for a three-dimensional effect. Or how to draw rumpled clothing, step-by-step. Instead, we get a lot of bewildering technobabble, accompanied by some extremely unrealistic drawings. Don't get me wrong, the artist is obviously very good at his craft. Some of his windswept Grecian goddesses are incredible! But many of his drawings are anatomically incorrect---the models are placed in such extreme positions, their limbs would have to be dislocated in order to achieve that kind of pose! I'm learning to draw my own fashion sketches, so I'm actively searching for good information on drawing realistic fabric. The best book I've found thus far is: Drawing Drapery from Head to Toe. It's a reprint from 1947, so the style is extremely dated, and it's a bit short, but it does a good job of showing how and why fabric drapes a certain way over the human body. As for "Dynamic Wrinkles and Drapery," I can't give it more than three stars. Recommended only if you're an art student who's desperately searching for any little tidbit you can find about how to draw clothing. At the least, you can study some of the more subdued sketches for clues.

Great resource for artists, illustrator, sculptors
Format: Paperback
I purchased this book to get an idea of how to sculpt realistic wrinkles on 3D clothing using software like Mudbox and ZBrush. Some of the illustrations show rather exaggerated wrinkling to get the point across, but I think that if you use this book along with photo reference of actual wrinkling, you can achieve very realistic effects. Copiously illustrated, great tips, high quality paper and reproduction. Often available at a reasonable price on the used market, a valuable addition to to the library of any artist who has to portray realistic clothing on the human figure.
