LESSON NOTES

What's in Premium?

I will show you how to render texture in drapery without getting stuck drawing every single thread. We look at how to abstract complex fabrics into simple patterns. I explain why you should only place your texture details in the halftones, keeping them out of the highlights and shadows to maintain the illusion of form. You will learn how to use line weight and irregular contours to show the thickness of a fabric. I also break down how to contrast different materials, like a coarse hood, a fine lacy blouse, and hair, by changing your mark-making techniques.

Drawing every thread on a piece of fabric is a massive waste of time. Abstract the material into a simple pattern and apply this texture map only in the halftone areas. This prevents an overworked drawing while capturing the exact material.
