What art style is this?

>What art style is this?
I'm not sure if there's a specific name. It's just realistic illustration. Basically just learn solid draftsmanship and painting, there's nothing magical or out of the ordinary here.

It'll take you a number of years to reach that level though. Once you are at that level each one might take anywhere from a day to a few days, depending on your personal speed and how good your reference is.

Get good reference, then draw it

if it is the 40s/50s style you like, look into american commercial illustration. and read loomis books. this is literally the type of work andrew loomis did.

It's not a style. It's from when people were good at illustration. No one is good at it anymore so people think that drawing well is all the sudden a style.

If you like this you'll probably love Norman Rockwell

that is true I have always loved his work. I really like the general style of American advertising, world war propaganda, and "wholesome", distinctively American art like Rockwell, but especially in this instance where there is a mix between realism and comic book style, but like 85% realism

That's a shitty modern drawing though, illustrators of the past made wrinkles in fabric appealing like OP's pic. Modern illustrators lost this knowledge and give fabric random chicken scratch wrinkles.

I tried to paint/mimic this OP style illustrations but when i paint this on my own the cloth was shitty and unappeling. Do you have any good advice or tutorial for painting fabric/clothes ?

OP's illustrations are drawn from photos, that pic is presumably built up from a variety of references

Leyendecker is the all time champion of folds. No shortcuts I'm afraid. Study and copy the works of him and other good artists.

I think that draw is from "The Armed Forces of World War II: Uniforms, Insignia and Organization", the artists is Pierre Turner and Malcolm McGregor, Andrew Mollo too! Good reference for you.

OP's pic has fabric wrinkles that are much more flowing than real wrinkles. Real wrinkles are nosier looking because of all these sub-wrinkles especially on lighter material like what those soldiers are wearing. Likely photo referenced but the artist knows how to improvise with wrinkle theory to make more appealing wrinkles by maintaining the overall flow while eliminating the noisy nuances of real wrinkles. He totally knows how wrinkles work.

Also worth noting is that the artist is good with exaggerating negative space. The photo reference would most definitely have more subtle negative space than that.

This is a good source on wrinkle theory

God bless you anon for that wrinkle theory pdf i needed that

Agreed, Rockwell is probably one of my favorite artists for that gorgeous blend of stylization and reality, but also for the insane amount of work he created in his life. There's an endless supply of his work it seems, and it's really inspiring.

Another source of this style is the cover art of vintage sewing patterns, some of the art is a little more stylized than this though.

look up Tamiya Military Boxart Illustrations, look up model kit box art in general.

Classic American style illustration: 40s and 50s.

I like comic art too. Check out some comics from the same era, might find some inspiration there.
