Not medieval, but this recent post may give you some clues:

You can use masking tape to assist you during the painting of a pattern on a shield.

Cheers,

Alexis it can be scary to start doing crosses etc can i surgest to start simply devide the surcoat or shield in two, (observe the folds in normal two tone clothing) once you are comfortable on another figure split three or quarters from there produce curves etc .I find looking at people at cafe's , work , etc observing them gives you an idea of movement in cloth etc and start simple it will come soon enough it is all about the observation .............
(sorry for the spelling)
Hope this helps
