"Here we have a pair of skinny leg pants which I love doing except they look like it was effortless because, I tell you, you have to, when you're doing all the little holes and the pleats and where the pants bunch, it looks like you can just do them anywhere and you can, you're supposed to do them anywhere but it's kind of like you cross over that boundary line of having it be so not perfect that you take forever trying to perfect the imperfection, which is what I ended up doing on this and you will drive yourself nuts. You will look at it forever and be like oh my gosh, do I need another hole there, do I need another little loopy doop there, should this one go across. Just let your hand flow and honestly the more you think about something and the more you add to something the more you're going to mess it up. So go with your gut and think, just start drawing. You want, they're skinny pants so you want them to come down over the heals, the best way to exhibit them, to showcase the fact that they are skinny pants is to draw them with a pair of heals and that way they can go straight down over them and then bunch. That shows this is the length you're going for and so draw it, find your point where you want them to hit and then just draw in however you want, make whatever kind of bunchyness you want and just don't think about it while you're drawing it, go and then go back and look at it and I promise it's not going to be to bad."
