Has it happened to you that when you are drawing your protagonist of your comic/manga, oc or perhaps making a fanart and you feel that something is missing and you don't know what?

Hi, I'm Haru!

And I have a couple of ideas that can help improve your illustration:

 

On this occasion we will learn to make ruffles and lace.

 

Many times we start drawing without having a clear idea of what we are going to draw and we shouldn't always have it, most of the time the problem is in the design of the clothing and detailing it can become a big problem if we are making a commission. , a manga or a comic with a deadline. Desperation tends to breathe down our necks normally, even when we have planned our schedule our personal life often interferes unexpectedly.

Even if you don't have that problem, it's never wrong to learn something new.

 

Having said that, let's get started!

 

 

2.- RUFFLES AND LACE ON SLEEVES

Here the problem is that time, which is not always enough, since drawing many details (in addition to hurting our hand), takes us several minutes when making a manga with many panels ahead and everything gets worse when it comes to the character. major.

So our tool and lifesaver will be the “CLIP STUDIO ASSETS” section.

This is located in the middle part of the left side

We will double click on the icon and write “ruffle” and “lace” separately in the search bar.

 

NOTE TOTITA NOTE: I recommend you open clip studio for a while every day since they constantly upload new brushes, tools, 3D models, among others. I mention this because when they just publish it they are usually free and rarely cost “GOLD” or “CLIPPYs”

As soon as the results appear, it's just a matter of downloading the ones you like the most.

To do this, you will double click on the one you like and the following will appear

You will click on download, then another click on “Paint” which is in the upper left

Here I already have a drawing done to show you how to use the brush, most of them are used in the same way so don't worry about downloading the same one as me.

Look on the left side and select the tool that looks like a pen to ink

The following window will appear and select the “add sub tool” icon

The following window will appear, we will look for the one we downloaded and click on “add to palette”

After that, the brush will be automatically selected and all that remains is to trace on a new layer and trace where we deem appropriate. I leave here as an example a Maid.

A big change, don't you think?

3.- RUFFLES AND LACE IN COLOR ILLUSTRATIONS (COMIC, MANHUAS, WEEBTOON, ETC)

Maybe you think “Yes, yes. Very nice friend. But what am I supposed to do if it's a manhuwa, weebtonn. etc? genius. “Or better yet, when it is a color drawing and in a complicated perspective, eh?” As you know, these are jobs that require time, so we will divide them into smaller problems.

 

 

3.1.- COLORED COMICS (MANHUAS, WEEBTOONS, ETC) IN SIMPLE PERSPECTIVES

The normal thing is that when we use the brush, whether it is ruffles or lace, it comes out in black and white. So we'll fix that in a simple way.

 

 

We will go to the lower left corner

and with the color wheel we will click on the black square and in the color wheel select the color that you have from the lineart of your drawing, in the second square the base color.

As for adding shadows, it would only be enough to create a new layer in multiply mode. Although to avoid stress, I recommend doing this when you are about to add the shadows in general.

3.2.- COLORED COMICS (MANHUAS, WEEBTOONS, ETC) IN COMPLICATED PERSPECTIVES

Here, in simple terms, there is no choice but to draw them, especially if it is a scene where our protagonist or character has a main role.

 

So the first thing would be to understand that ruffles are folds of fabric and they are not necessarily all the same, the fabric is capricious and that is why they do not always follow a specific pattern.

 

 

As for the laces, at least from my point of view, they fit all the illustrations and even if there are problems, they are easy to solve with the lasso tool.

Anyway, it never hurts to know how lace is made. It is only important to know that they are fabrics with varied designs and shapes.

 

 

After knowing all this, let's put it into practice!

The first thing would be to make the sketch

Then it would be to make the lineart or place the color on top, whatever you feel most comfortable with.

I recommend using the lasso.

 

 

Then we will use a soft brush and make the shadows. (There is no specific brush bro, one with soft edges would be enough)

And to give depth we will use the blur tool

 

 

Finally, all that remains is to add the lace as we learned previously and some lights (the light is done with the airbrush and on the add layer)

Thanks for getting here. I hope I've helped.
