Drawing the jacket:
It helps to have drawn the figure in a fitted outfit first, to understand what the body does....(or under-drawing on a separate page):
Then we draw the jacket on the model (in the same pose) and study and analyze the folds and shadows of the fabric, sleeves.
Starting with drawing the silhouette of the garment, then adding shadows and folds with either Prisma or marker.
Adding highlights or shine at the end and refining contrasts and line quality.
