Hello everone!
Today I'll show you my way to draw a police uniform
I've already done the body sketching lines for my character and now we'll dress him up...
...It's just like the cloth-changing game of your girlfriend :)
I am blurring the sketching lines to make it easier when drawing cloth
Don't make it to clean !
*thinking, thinking, thinking*
I usually take several mins to think about what I should draw :D
Now, let's get started !!
I usually start from the collar of the T-shirt first when drawing suit because it's important that you can keep the balance between 2 sides
Be gentle, and relax :v
The hard collar cover most of his neck
Remember to draw the T-shirt a bit outside of body lines because of their thickness
The coat is closing making a V-shaped collar...
...It'd be different if the coat is open
The bottom of the V is below the centre of the chest 1 - 2 mm
Don't forget to add "thickness" to your coat :P
Forgot to say, I use the uniform of Metropolitan police in London, UK for reference
Uniform often go with ties isn't it XD
Add some crosses to indicate the wrinkles of the T-shirt :)
The collar of the coat is abit more difficult as it has 2 layers...
...check and make sure 2 sides are reasonably symmetrical
The collar will change depend on the style, the pose, etc... of your character
2 small triangled pieces on his shoulders
*adding, adding*
Next is the body
Erase a few of the sketch -_-
The suit coat is thick, draw them out a bit [if you know what I mean]...
Draw and erase until you happy
The coat tips are a bit below the groin line
If you already have a good knowledge about cloth wrinkles, use it. Otherwise just follow the curve of the body...
...suits and other outfits that are made of hard fabric dont have much wrinkles on them so not drawing them is passable
Most of the wrinkles appear at the positions of joints
Finishing the other arm...
Repeat all the process I've told you...
the T-shirt collar..
...the right arm...
Opps, I mistakenly drew 3 layers of shirt :v
Add a bit to be more fascinating :D
Police have a lot of equipments with them
To the bottom part...
Trousers are loose and don't have much wrinkle on them^^
Moving on to shoe part...
I don't even know what to say in this part =_= Depend on the type of shoes and also the chracter's pose and style draw your shoes (hopefully)
Full memory, sorry...
I often choose o draw different poses between 2 legs because I prefer it
Add anything you like
The shoes are now done !!
Add a few more details :D
Here comes the hat, you can do it if you want to :))
I drew the hat a bit off to the left to add a bit more spice to it :D also to show off his hair =)))
And this is the final look >.<
I took this picture from a pretty low angle so his legs look so long but in reality it is not like this -_-
Zoom in a bit
