About the video

PVC/clear vinyl is a hot trend on the fashion catwalks right now, but it doesn’t really matter, right? Fashion trends always cycle back. This category of fabrics are often thick and stiff in drape, and occasionally thinner and crinkly. Either way, don’t draw them like a soft slinky silk. Many of them are sheer and colorless, some are sheer with some color, some are completely opaque. They are usually pretty shiny. I will go over all these types in this video.
