I was in the middle of screwing up another drawing that has fabrics in it, then this pops up and saved my drawing, thank you,

[@Poisonedblade]

A lot of people just copy and art reference, without thinking of things like tension, material, light source, etc... Thanks for bringing these to everyone's attention!

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Thanks, man! It's the bare bones of drawing that I'm trying to teach so everyone can begin with the right approach.

[@albefossati71]

Here in Italy, with my kid, we are trying to follow your fundamentals (and practicing English too). Would be nice to have other tutorials for first timers. Thanks for your work.

[@kiehallo]

Best video on folds I've seen here. It explains step by step the stages and their patterns and it doesn't just tell you their names and then just draws them

[@VickKelly-v9f]

I have been waiting for this tutorial!!! Thanks Bobby you just made my day! Have a great day too

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

You are so welcome

[@bryanterborg3665]

As much as I love the creatures you create and the techniques you explain, it’s pretty cool to see you teach and cover other aspects in drawing. Thanks Bobby 🦶

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Glad you like them! I promise to continue this.

[@rAndomlight1069]

This is a most excellent video. Thank you. I feel like the folds and creases of my fear and ignorance, have been, well and truly, ironed out. Thank you, most sincerely.

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Mrx44579]

The pencil you are using is darker than the humanity futur. I am surprised a 4B can be that dark. Drawing fabric is a monster for every beginner. Thank you for the tutorial. Very useful.

[@frankseymour4162]

Another excellent lesson, well done. I do love drawing drapery. As you said, if it is well done it brings a drawing to life. Thank you for taking the time to post this video.

[@Blixa-fj7fn]

Ah one of the biggest problems I have with drawing, you solved it in less than an hour 👏👏👏

[@BonLee-jh5pk]

When I was first learning how to shade, we did all these folds in fabric, different fabrics and light sources. It was hard at first, but now it's like I don't even think about it. Putting the terminology to what I'm already doing is really helpful.

[@punotomalf6408]

Keep up the good work man! You are growing you deserve millions!

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

I appreciate that!

[@NTheExplorer]

I'm a complete beginner in drawing and these tips helped A LOT, I liked the way you explain things and really couldn't find like this clear, detailed video. I'd really appreciate if you could make more tips or basics drawing videos.

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Glad it was helpful! Keep drawing and every day, you get better and better.

[@dumpyyummy]

BEYOND grateful for your channel my man🕺🤠

[@cozmoznova]

Was waiting very eagerly for your video!!

[@hypeuprise7026]

Ha! I’ve been practicing drawing folds for the past week or so, nice (coincidental) timing on this video!

[@bombrman1994]

this is pretty cool my fav is the follow along creature ones that we just concept art it by random circles and shapes. I just feel like I can unleash so much in that style

[@ScottErb]

Awesome, loved it! I'm just getting started drawing, so this is very helpful!

[@katyhutchinson7013]

Love the variety of topics!

[@jhetvelasco3761]

I love this, thank you! I like to draw fashion sketches and this is very useful for me ❤

[@jamesnicholls6838]

Hi, I don't try to draw fabric as I think it is too difficult, but having watched this tutorial I might try it. Thank you so much for your skills in teaching and draughtsmanship. Excellent video.

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

You’re welcome 😊

[@georgeabdulnour2727]

This is a excellent lesson , Thank you for sharing.

[@shannonlyon99]

Surprising that something that looks so easy is so challenging! Great demo.

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Thanks for watching!

[@lobsterboy64]

Started drawing on day 6 and these was amazing. Thank you I’m enjoying art more everyday

[@blue-ringoctopus]

Thank you for the thoughtful lesson! It made the subject more easier for me to understand 👍

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Glad it was helpful!

[@aminabadylbayeva2233]

Thank you so much for your videos! They are so clear and helpful, it’s incredible how a concept I struggled so much to understand through years was explained to me perfectly in half an hour. Would you ever consider doing a tutorial on lighting placement and shadows? Thank you again for your amazing work! Hope you keep blessing us with the new videos 🙌✨

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

You're very welcome and I am definitely going to do lighting tutorials. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@Kashadooo]

I watch your video on my samsung galaxy FOLD. Excellent material you got there!

[@timelesssilence2541]

These lesson videos are life changing, thank you.

[@AD-fy8ic]

Thank you so much sir for this video. Your valuable suggestions and the way you describe it . Very very helpful.

[@lostvisitor]

you make things so simple. thank you.

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

You are welcome!

[@meikoluvv]

This video is sent from the heavens. Thank you so much! Folds are so intimidating and going through it a little makes me feel like it’s possible

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Glad it was helpful!

[@peter2645]

Awesome,.thank you so much for this🥳🥳👍🏼

[@leonardodalongisland]

Thanks for the lessons. You broke down some challenges I've been struggling with for years.....Folds in fabric and skin are one of, if not the most important thing artist should learn. If you look at the Classic work from Renaissance forward, you'll see folds a million times. They make up such a large part of that art. I can't help but spend so much time looking and studdling them whenever I see such works. Recognizing them (on fabric or skin) and knowing how they "work" is a must for all artist.

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

You are so welcome!

[@barb-bi]

Thank you. I'm going to begin art, and I find this helpful

[@spinosaurusstriker]

Thank you, i actually need this

[@Love-Frogs]

Also thank you very much I really needed this my clothing will be much better

[@killzann7757]

Thank u so much very helpfull! I am really waitin for this leviathan drawing session!! Maybe in Gustave Dore style?

[@wannys1880]

thank you for the tutorial, very useful!

[@ShoshiPlatypus]

Great stuff. It's all about observation, really. Amazing how you can get the effect with just a few strokes.

[@IngeniousOutdoors]

The fact he missed a line going up for one of the bottom of the drop folds drove me crazy. He kept saying "account for all of them" and darkening the curvy part and drawing right past it 😂😂

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

It drives me crazy knowing I missed that, too.

[@IngeniousOutdoors]

@@bobbyrebholz2183 nobody is perfect man and you're LIGHTYEARS ahead of me in skill so it's actually comforting to know I don't have to be a perfectionist 😁. Love the videos!

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

​@@IngeniousOutdoors I've been drawing for decades and I still mess up. It's all part of the learning process. When we mess up, THAT is the exact moment we get better because our brain notices the mistake and subconsciously makes us aware of it the next time.

[@kerrym5424]

I took two semesters of rendering…not once did we focus on folds. Thank you!

[@SaintLoser314]

Very helpful! Thank you for the fantastic video

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Glad it was helpful!

[@hassaneinakader5185]

Please more than from these lessons i hop in the future more lecture about building

[@devmoth9274]

Hi, i recently discovered this channel and find it really inspiring. Your art style is pretty much the style i'm striving for, and one of the best here on youtube. At least for my personal taste. I'm just a hobbyist and don't have that much time to invest in drawing, but it's all about the journey :) One of the things I'm always struggeling with, is how to avoid symmetry and patterns. In this video you are doing a lot of "random" lines for the foldings. When I'm trying something like this it always seems a bit too organized. It doesn't matter if I'm trying to draw tree branches, mountain lines, creature textures,... they always tend to look too "perfect". So I really would appreciate some tipps or an episode about how to avoid this or how to practice this "natural chaoticness".

[@ethan_leonardbruh]

you’re the man!

[@andie6257]

Oh wow, this is VERY different than the usual

[@mohamedabdoola1159]

Brilliant! Thanks for this tutorial, was looking for something similar. Just Subscribed. ATB from South Africa

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Thanks and welcome aboard!

[@deans4416]

You draw so beautiful

[@orkatelura2965]

The force of gravity acts just downwards, it doesn't exert a lateral or compressive force. The reason the folds appear is a combination of the tension between where the cloth hangs and the gravity (just pulls it down), the material and the weave of the fabric (affects drape and elasticity), the friction at contact points (the friction between the curtain rod and the fabric maintains the gathered state of the curtain) and so on.

[@deepakk1944]

It's nice to see you're trying out something new, other than creature design.

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

My channel will always be about creatures but a foundation drawing playlist is going to be included.

[@patriciaalarcon4167]

Thank you so much for sharing this video it’s very helpful for me 🙏🙏🙏

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

My pleasure 😊

[@PaintedTurtle001]

You're very talented! I can't draw well at all, lol.

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Thank you so much 😀

[@abacatinho2581]

Thank you. Now please do a video teaching how to draw machines and metallic stuff. Please.

[@theconfidenceicarry2683]

THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO IT REALLY HELPED!!!

[@bryanterborg3665]

Will you do some more of these wrinkles and folds or how clothing is loose and forms to body parts. Basically how clothes react to a character body parts?🦶

[@nakiasimone]

Valuable. Thank you.

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gerdbertling643]

Thanks a lot. very very helpfull !!!

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Glad it was helpful!

[@punotomalf6408]

Can you make a video about how to draw with reference? since you already made a video about how to draw without reference. I'm wondering if it's a good content if you make a video about how to draw with reference so that we can see the techniques to use especially how do you draw the shadows and other techniques?

[@Poisonedblade]

FYI, the best art book I've seen is Sketching MANGA Style Vol 1: Sketching as Composition Planning. It has a girl with a frog hood on the cover... in a can. I know it makes no sense, but the book shows pretty good sketches.. and then how to make them better with a side by side comparison.

[@Satyaan.]

thanks

[@Norfolk250]

One of my high school teachers taught me that the 'hard to do' things are - because, like you did within the first 30 seconds - told that it's hard. It's in the wording. Call it 'suggestion' or 'hypnosis', it goes into our brain that it's hard or impossible, and we do shit jobs of it without our efforts even having a chance to try.

[@sunfix991]

Hey are you keen to drawing felines? would be nice to have a video about how to differentiate and draw tigers, lions, saber tooth, and other felines they are all similar but have little things that separate them from each other

[@LilacDaisy2]

5:29 - what shape is that cloth when laying flat - a triangle

[@risstastic]

What fold is best suggested for a bed with two people laying in it?

[@tedtradermin7017]

[@shrippie-4214]

[@johnanon9392]

I'm on the autism spectrum, and my most feared thing to draw are faces.

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Faces are a priority lesson that I will be getting to very soon.

Want to live forever? Jesus, the Son of God, loves us so much that He died for our sins on the cross before His resurrection. With His sacrifice, our sins are forgiven and we can live in eternal happiness! Follow Jesus, repent, and live forever with Him in Heaven! To learn more, check out the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in the New Testament of the Holy Bible.

[@clayboai]

So valuable !!! thank you sir !

[@bobbyrebholz2183]

Most welcome!
