1When you want to make clotheslook dirt smudged, pick a few spots

and start drawing groups of lines.

2 Crosshatch the lines going in sev-eral directions. The crosshatching

should be very messy. The more linesthere are, the more dirty it will look.Leave fewer lines for lighter patches ofdirt.

1 Sketch the padded surface of the jacket over the arm. The outline

will come up away from the arm. Thestretchy, cuff fabric should hug the skin.

2 Draw the stitching lines of the cuffand sleeve.

3 Clean up the outline. Pinch theseams and add a few wrinklesaround them.

4 The darker lines in the seamsconvey the depth of the padded,

stuffed fabric. Add a few wrinkles in themiddle of each fabric segment but keepthe focus on the seams. Long, straightlights with a few straight creases will dofor the cuff.

1 Sketch the body. Keep theform tight to ward off the cold.

2 Outline the clothing. Notethat the big coat makes him

look a lot thicker than he is.

3Clean up the outline. Createwrinkles that pinch around the

seams of the padded coat. Addsome dark lines to convey depth,but not too thick or the coat willlook at.

4 When colored, the inkedseam lines disappear though

their shape is still conveyed. Theshading is at and two-toned,because this fabric isn’t prone toshine.
