2) Drawing silhouette of garment with Prisma (soft) on new page.
3) Shading shadows and folds with the side of the Prisma (soft, blended) or with a grey brush tip marker.
4) Add stripes with marker. Pay attention to the different directions of folds and put in only a few (can be finished when model on break).
5) Adding accents, contrast with Prisma (finished look)
6) Maybe add highlights or blend with white pastel (very gently).

There are several ways to approach the drawing: Contour, silhouette and shape are essential (working with or without an underdarwing): ALWAYS be aware of your verticals in the room (or page edge) and compare and see the "diagonals"and movement of the figure/pose.
