I'm a Regular Todd McFarlane...LOL

Man I love drawing flowing and wrinkly cloth and flares and folds and wrinkles in the anime style. One of the best since Trigun and Spawn if I do say so myself. I like drawing drapery and folded, flowing, and sometimes wrinkled cloth and fabric in coats, jeans, shirts, and cloaks so much, I could just lie around my house drawing cloaks all damn day. WEEEEEE!!! :D Ha ha ha! Seriously though, shit man, that stuff's FUN! To me cloth studies and costume designs are more fun than work. LOVIN IT! I take a lot of inspiration from artists like McFarlane, Frank Miller, Kazuki Takahashi, Yasuhiro Nightow, and myself of course. I've come to enjoy my own cloth studies just as much as that of the artists I've admired from afar. Is this style of cloth dominated by males? Yes. But I don't see why female artists couldn't draw that way too. I guess a lot of people associate cloth with masculinity, like being a king in a robe or something. A symbol associated historically with masculinity, much like swords.

If you want to draw like those guys, most of the time you need to approach drawing the basic shapes of trenchcoats with a healthy eye for not just curves and wavy lines (which is  very John Buscema), but instead approach the flares of a trenchcoat in terms of basic shapes in the form of deformed mutated elongated exaggerated, flowing, and interconnected triangular, rectangular and angular shapes. You have to have a strong eye for curves and angles that can take on a life of their own in the drafting stage.
