In earlier chapters we’ve looked at the two families of folds: the parallels and the radials, both as simple folds and as compound folds. Drawing individual or small groups of parallel and radial folds can solve the problems of compression of cloth in many situations. But sometimes larger groups of folds are necessary, for instance when clothing is compressed at a flexed joint. In these situations, groups of parallel and radial folds work together to provide geometrical solutions, and more complex patterns arise. Fortunately, by learning to draw just a few complex folds you will have the skills to deal with many common situations found in clothing.
The patterns of complex folds are recognizable and predictable, and they ...
