Observation Tips
1.. Really look at the fabric.
4. Look for value changes (highlight, mid-tones, deep shadows, reflected light) |
Step by Step
1. Lightly draw out the major folds 2. Use graduated shading so that there is a smooth transition from light to dark 3. Add the mid-tones, leaving the highlights 4. Remember to continually studying the fabric to see how the shadows change 5. Deepen the areas that are darker 6. Step back and check for strong contrast 7. Avoid strong outlines - fabric folds are rounded and soft 8. Use a kneaded eraser to clean up the highlights if needed |
