And this is how you draw women's pants. First of all, you think about the style of pant
you want to draw. I'm really big on high-waisted this year, so I'm going to go with a high-waisted
pant. And I'm going to go with a riding pant type shape, something very skin tight, but
then I'm going to give it a little kick out at the bottom, a little bit of a diagonal
flair. I have a little heel sticking out. She's wearing serious platform shoes.
And it depends on the style of pant that you're wanting to draw about how fluid you want to
make the lines. These are fitted so there's not that much fluidity to them, but if you
want, and you want to draw like an elephant style pant, which is a very wide leg pant,
you can just create different folds, et cetera, et cetera, to create your seam lines.
One thing that's really important with pants is to have your front fly or whatever your
closures are. So this particular pair of pants is going to have a front fly, and you just
basically indicate that by drawing down the center of the pant and then creating with
a dotted line, the stitch line, that will create where the zipper will end.
You then create another dotted line to show where that seam will end. You also have to
think about pockets, and for this I'm going to do, just like a simple, well, it's not
that simple. Everything I do is not that simple. Simple pocket, I'll call it simple, that basically
is built into the seam. So these right here are pockets, and to indicate where this pocket
ends, you can do little dotted lines, because they'll be stitched down, so that your stuff
doesn't fall out of your pockets. And then I'm going to put this pant with just like
a skin tight turtleneck. Why not? I'll indicate the folds of the turtleneck. I know this is
about pants, but you've got to, you can't just have a pair of pants sitting on a page.
Do all your final touches and then you're ready to ink this in, color it in, shade it,
et cetera. Add texture if you like.
And that is how you draw pants.
