Flo's Fundamentals: Fabric (Patreon)

This is Flo's Fundamentals! In this series I show how you can paint different fundamental subjects. Pieces of the puzzle you can use in your digital paintings. In this fifth class we'll be diving into the subject of fabric!

In the first part of the video, I'll talk about the theory. What are the characteristics of different types of fabric? Fabric can vary in weight, texture, thickness, reflectiveness, etc. How do you recognize these characteristics and how can we translate them to our paintings?

In the second part of the video, I'll be doing a demonstration and show you how I approach painting fabric and clothing. I've attached the study file, you can use it to both check my work up close and to make your own study. I have also attached the working files of the other studies I did, before recording this video. In the files you can see the steps I took to get to the end result.

I would also recommend checking out my Pinterest Board with fabric and clothing reference images. Try making studies from different reference images to improve your fabric painting skills! And if you ever struggle or have questions, please feel free to reach out. I'm here to help!

I've attached the Noizy brush I used during the demonstration, if you want to get any fabric brushes, you can get them here: https://gumroad.com/l/procreatefashionbrushes

The next Flo's Fundamentals will be about painting trees!
