How to Draw Clothing in Cartoons

Video Transcript

"We're cartooning today and I've shown you how to draw a face. We've drawn emotion. We've drawn age, body, body language, body movement. What goes on the body? What am I wearing? Clothing. They say clothes make the man. He's got kind of a nice snazzy look there. I think he's a business man. What I'm going to do is I'm going to draw the lapels, these jagged little lines. Here's the top of his tie, and he's going to have a striped tie I think. Here's the little white of his shirt. Now, I'm going to draw the lapels of his suit. As you can see, the suit buttons right here. He's going to have some nice broad shoulders. Two little circles there show that he's got buttons on his sleeve as well. He's got his suit. He's got his arms. He's got nice pants and he's got some snazzy shoes. That's my idea of a business man. Since we're drawing and we can draw whatever we want. The boundless limits of our imagination. Clothes makes the man. If I were to draw an apron. I'll have it tie off on the back there. These are his pants, his shoes. We're going to have this sleeves rolled up because he has been cooking. This guy we can say hey he's a chef. How do we know for sure? Clothing. I'm going to add a little bubble top, and now he's got a chef hat. To make him a chef even more, let's add a little French mustache and a little goatee going on. That is how clothes make the man."
