As you probably know, Wacom (ζ ͺεΌδΌη€Ύγ―γ³γ , Kabushiki-gaisha Wacom) is a global company, established in 1983 in Saitama, Japan. As a Japanese company, we thought it would be fun to show off this little visual reference by Manga artist Chihiro Howe that helps you easily see how various traditional pieces of Japanese clothing should be drawn.
Chihiro told us she kept seeing artists trying to draw Kimono or Yukata and getting it wrong, so she created an easy-to-follow tutorial on how to draw various types of Japanese clothing.
