You miss the point entirely or you have not read any of the thread before my post that you just quoted,
I do some modeling, but not figures or clothing, more architecture. Mixed results, BTW, there's a lot I don't put up anywhere or show anyone else. THose Euww! moments that I tend to bury. In that respect, and I've followed this since the beginning, I lean heavily on the work of those that can model clothing, and other human accessories. LROG may be correct that it can be learned, he just forgot the qualifiers. Those being, an idea of how every aspect of the clothing should be, how it should drape, where it should be snug, where not so snug, and the knack of knowing when it looks good instead of just a bag covering a figure. Part of my making a living required that I do mechanical drafting, usually with just a drafting machine, and I have no problems with doing that. However, how many people want to try to figure out something like a transmission case and draw it, complete with all the holes, bosses, ribs and other parts that are absolutely necessary. I don't try to encourage someone that doesn't have that as part of their nature to do it, it's usually easier to start from scratch than have to work with someone elses mistakes.
