Five tips: How to Draw Capes for Comic Books

Part one: Cape Drawing Basics
Drawing capes for superheroes is pretty easy with practice. 

  1. Folds in fabric are like folds in paper but not as forgiving. 
  2. The basic cape is a half circle.
  3. Pleating at the top is small, opening wider at the bottom.
  4. Real fabric isn't as forgiving as comic book material.
  5. Practice making curves on the out side edge, then connecting to the neck.
