I just finished season 1 of Witch Hat Atelier and one of my favorite things from the art is how they add THICKNESS to the fabrics! There are multiple ways we can do this: 1. Overlapping or showing thickness from where fabrics overlap each other (ie. layers on hat, ties over pants) 2. Showing edges and seams where fabric is sewn together 3. Following the form with shading especially if using hatching lines What are your favorite parts of Witch Hat Atelier's art style? *no spoilers please!
