A texture brush for velvet cloth
How to use:
- Apply base color to sketch using a normal flat brush
- Apply a gradient to this base
- Add your shades and lighting
- Once you're satisfied with the base and after your first render (i.e: blending), use this brush especially on transitional shades adapting it's size to the spaces you're wanting to texturize.
Quick notes:
1. This brush is in no way a sketching brush. It is a texture brush and therefore is more visible when used on spots with transitional hues. This is why I advise making sure your base is set before going in with it. But feel free to try it out as you wish!
2. Also, don't hesitate to finish of your piece with a thin brush stroke using a watercolor (or any other translucent) brush on a layer set to soft light, overlay or hard light. And play with the hues and blending modes to get this multicoloured effect velvet can have sometimes.
3. The brush also works great with a vivid light layer for the harsh highlights you can find on the fabric at times.
4. You can also play around with the size of the brush because it won't always work great with a big setting. Slow and steady always win the race.
5. And if on tablet, paint with a circular motion when using it, it helps the brush blend within itself
6. Last tip, don't hesitate to combine it with the kneading eraser to give it a realistic feel if that what you're looking for.
