Art of Drawing Folds: An Illustrator's Guide to Drawing the Clothed Figure by Kelly Brine from Focal Press addresses folds in clothing systematically providing a clear, concise approach to the analysis, classification, and visualization of convincingly naturalistic folds. Starting with the nature of fabric and its geometry, this book methodically explores the reasons for fold behavior based on the construction of clothing and the shapes and actions of the human figure.
