How to draw kimonos

“#kimono Part 2: Kimono accessories There are several accessories used when wearing a kimono. Men is just obi (a sash to keep the kimono in place) But women use a lot more to keep the shape of the kimono and the obi in tact. Kimono is a formal wear, so you never go bare feet.”

#kimono Part 1: The basic shape of a kimono Kimono is all about straight lines and squares. There are no curves, and the only triangle bit is the collar area. The basic shapes are the same for men and women, but the holes in sleeves are different.

So... I keep seeing artists drawing Kimono or Yukata and getting it wrong, so I thought it was about time I did a tutorial on it... Here’s a thread on some basics on Kimono and Yukata. I’ll keep adding to this thread as I finish them. I hope this helps!:
