Been a while since I did an oversized hoodie! Still one of my favorite outfits :3 It's just hard to incorporate subtle parts of anatomy of the body with it. 

Speaking of anatomy, I started practicing having better ways to build a character using shapes! I'll have some extra pictures below the WIPs if you want to see.

This looks really great! I've actually been trying to get more into art recently. What would you recommend when it comes to shapes and folds (when drawing anatomy, I mean)?

Thank you! For clothing folds, it helps a lot to look at real-life examples, either through the outdoors or googling outfits/apprel that you want to draw. Depending on your style, you should probably simplify it a decent amount and only focus on the main folds/shadows! This video does a good example of what you want to think about: https://youtu.be/cVAyBj7Ho5I For anatomy, it heavily depends on the characters you're drawing and what you desire to draw them as! But what helped me a lot was some videos from here (suggestive warning) : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBVyYeuT_pyqBK1EmbnmRh4HXDuvtWBu4 Not everything would be useful but I liked how they laid the foundation of the bodies and that's what I was actually experimenting with with this picture. But other than that, it's just a lot of drawing and seeing what you liked/disliked from your result, and trying to iterate on that on the next picture. Ex. I think I draw heads too big, so I'm going to layout the body and try to size the head appropriately for my next drawing (actually true for me). Hope this helped!

Thank you for the advice! I'll definitely give these videos a look.
