This workbook is a companion to Tom Fox's latest book, An Artist's Guide to Drawing Clothed Characters, offering readers room to practice and build their skills under the author's direction. It also works on its own as a practical drawing tool.

Across 200 pages of clear, approachable guidance and figures to trace and draw over, the workbook lets readers put the main book's lessons into practice, while standing equally well by itself. Each exercise features a faint, partial reference with the underlying body or geometric mannequin already in place, so readers can focus entirely on rendering the clothing. The workbook also includes extra clothing and pose references from the artist that couldn't fit into the main book.

Both this workbook and its companion build on Tom Fox's earlier title, Anatomy for Artists: Drawing Form & Pose, which has sold more than 30,000 copies. Here, the figure-drawing expert explores clothing and drapery in depth. Drawing on his distinctive method of simplified mannequins and energetic gesture sketches, Tom shows how to strengthen your figures as a whole, grasp how fabric behaves, and convincingly depict the way clothes fold, stretch, and bunch up.
