Shirts are one of the most popular elements of men’s and women’s clothing that have been around for several centuries. Despite the fact that shirts are considered a common wardrobe item today, they have a rather interesting history.
The first shirts appeared in Europe in the 16th century and were initially worn only by men. They were quite simple, but over time, they began to serve not only as protection from the cold and sun, but also as a symbol of status. In the 19th century, women began to wear shirts, and by the beginning of the 20th century, they became a mandatory clothing item.
The most common materials used to make shirts are cotton and linen. They are popular due to their strength, softness, and elasticity, which provide comfort when wearing. However, other fabrics are also used, such as silk, polyester, viscose, and even denim.
Shirts can come in different colors, with various patterns and prints, as well as have different collar and cuff shapes. Shirts can be classic or fashionable, in line with the latest fashion trends.
Now that we have explored the history and variety of shirts, let’s move on to our drawing lesson. You will learn how to draw a shirt step by step, starting with its basic elements and finishing with details. Let’s get started!
