Tips for jerseys that you can draw just by knowing

Share:
Yaki * mayu's new series, “Fashion tips that you can draw well just by knowing” 5th. In this course, we will introduce "Knowledge that will improve your drawing ability just by knowing beforehand" when drawing various clothes.


If you are struggling with clothes that you are unfamiliar with, or if you want to improve your drawing of clothes, please read it. This time, I would like to introduce the tips of “jerseys” that are often used for drawing student life, sports scenes, and dull characters.

Jersey tips

Let's take a look at the tips of the theme “Jersey”.

Characteristic collar shape

The jersey is characterized by a collar shape.


The material of the jersey fabric is soft and the collar line is gentle. Be careful not to bend the top of the collar like a Y-shirt.

Let's express the softness of the material with wrinkles

The jersey is made of soft material, so be sure to draw wrinkles with the softness in mind.


You can express the softness of the fabric by drawing large wrinkles that can be worn on clothes and drawing lots of wrinkles where the fabric bends.

The white line of the jersey is drawn with a thick pen

An essential part of the jersey is the white line pattern.


When drawing a line pattern like this, the thickness tends to fall apart. In such a case, you can easily draw a line pattern by drawing with a thick pen and drawing a line along the edge.

It is important to draw a line on the rubber part of the sleeve

When drawing the rubber part of the jersey hem or sleeve, the point is to draw the line of the rubber part.


Rather than just drawing the rubber part line, the thickness of the rubber part can be expressed naturally by drawing a solid image and bending the edges slightly inward. This drawing method is the same when drawing clothes lines with a sweater, so please be conscious.

Completion! !

Use these to complete your jersey illustration!

We introduced the points that make you feel like a jersey by just “knowing” and “being conscious”, such as the expression of the softness of clothes and how to draw characteristic parts.


There are various jerseys and dresses, so if you have content that you can use in your own illustrations, please use it.

In this series, we will introduce more and more techniques that can be read and used once in a while.

Next time we will introduce “Drawing points” and “Tips for drawing” by clothing, so please take a look.

Let's do our best and keep going! Thank you very much.
