How to Draw Jeans

Video Transcript

"Joel Hickerson, GrinDog.com. Today we're going to learn how to draw jeans. The first thing we want to do is think about jeans, there are elements very specific to jeans that other pants don't have. We'll start with the hips, going down into the legs and then flush out the jean itself, come in with the legs, come up to the jeans. Also the jeans have a button and a seam for the zipper, we go down. If it's a straight leg jean, all the way up to the end, okay. Very specific to jeans is this pocket here, some of them have a little snap right next to that, there's always a back pocket, there's always a seam running down the side of the leg, and sometimes it has a thread count or a stitching and sometimes it don't, it has a seam in the inside of the jeans as well, okay. Erase the lines we don't need on this guy. And there you have the first set of jeans. Don't forget your belt loops. Now that's the front of the jean. Now something that seems to me to make jeans jeans is the back, so draw the back of the same jean. And you got your front pocket from the front, and you still have your seam, belt loops. What makes these jeans a jean is the back pocket. These come to a little point at the bottom, come up under the butt cheek, but what's really cool, what I like is that they always have some kind of pattern, so I'm thinking, being that my name is Joel, these jeans are going to have a J on the pocket, but this is a cool way to customize your drawn jeans, put your company insignia or your name on the back of them. Pretty much front and back. Again, things specific to a jean would be the button, and sometimes they have button flies too. The fly is half circle pockets with a snap, seams that go on the inside and the outside of the legs. Sometimes you get a crease on the front, sometimes you don't, but you can always draw sort of a crease or folds wherever you want. And then the back what makes a jean a jean is the insignia on the back pocket and these little half triangles at the very base. And again the seam on the side and the creases on the bottom. And that's how you draw jeans."
