The drawing of the clothed figure: Fold, structure and volume. Revised and enriched

The classic draping method, revised and enriched
This manual retrieves The Seven Laws of Folds by George B. Bridgman and offers a contemporary interpretation of his constructive principles as applied to the drawing of the clothed figure. Through a progressive pedagogical structure, the book breaks down the complexity of drapery into mechanical and visual principles focused on the study of volume, mass, and the organization of fabric.
