John draws folds so well, that for a long time I thought he brought in models for this sort of thing.•• In a way, this is kind of true. I struggled with drapery for many years -- and, truth to tell, I still have a long way to go -- but I took a quantum leap forward when I made THIS model. I used Poser for the figures, but I was not happy with how they rendered clothing, so I decided to model Octopus' lab coat myself, the hard way. This necessitated my thinking, really for the first time, about how folds in cloth work THREE DIMENSIONALLY. Modeling the sleeves was a particular, ah, poser. Anyway, I learned a lot from that model, and I have continued to explore and pursue what I learned.
