I've been thinking about making this for a while now. It's meant to seriously attack the BASE problems and issues beginners have with folds.

There are LOTS of tutorials and stuff out there for folds and wrinkles, but most of them go straight to like, "Examples of x x and x folds" which people then copy instead of learning to understand WHY folds are the way they are and are painted the way they are. This then just breeds bad habits with wrinkles and folds.

I hope this helps mitigate that issue ^_^; Again, i'm not super great at this, but I hope this can help people. Remember the only sure fire way to get better is to observe and draw from life!

Check out the other BASIC Basics:


--------------------

As for fold tutorials i DO like? Check this one out once you've got the basics down! B) No point in reinventing the wheel from here XD

I realized a few times ago that lines have nothing real, they were drawn for comprehension purpose or style but not because they existed like that. You are the first one to say that lines are symbolic, I'm glad to see this in a tutorial at least.
