How do u paint different textures on fabrics ?

[celest pecan]

I’ve been trying to study how to properly paint fabrics but they always end up shiny and I want to be able to draw difent types of textures. Like mat or leather woll etc. how do u do that ? @brave anvil
Some of my recent art as refrence if needed n

it end up shiny probably because u are using the same values for all of them! for different textures the best way would be focusing on some studies and try to figure out some specific features of each. for example satin would have much wider range of values than leather but also you will have to experiment with brushes a bit (soft blending brush would be great for satin however leather would need something more textured to add interesting details and texture variation). It would be possible to render with one but judging by your recent work I think it would be interesting to add some new brushes and experiment with that a bit!!

Yea I’ll try and find some new brushes ! Woud it be helpful to do some black and white value study’s of difrent clothing before adding color ?

yeah definitely, black and white for purely value study and colored ones to figure out color variations and such! up to you which one u choose but I would check out both of them in study
