### Textile Materials

Textiles are divided into two types: smooth and flowing, and rough and thick.
Silk is smooth and flowing.
Wool is rough and thick.
To effectively draw textiles, it’s important to consider light and shadow created by folds.

### Fabric Folds

Pipe Fold: Forms when a material’s origin point is compressed.
Zigzag Fold: Found in clothing that bunches up at the knees or the bottom of the legs, like pants.
Spiral Fold: Occurs when wrapping material around tubular objects.
Half-Lock Fold: Created when the material changes direction abruptly.

### Common Fold Examples

Pipe Folds: Common in dresses and curtains.
Zigzag Folds: Found in pants that bunch up.
Spiral Folds: Seen in rolled or bunched-up sleeves.
Half-Lock Folds: Appear in slacks when squatting or sitting.

Texture and Detail

Texture is the surface detail that describes how an object would feel to the touch.
Pattern is an interlocking repetition of shapes and values.
An object can have both texture and pattern.
Actual texture is how a piece of art feels to the touch.
Implied texture uses elements like shape, pattern, lines, color, and shades to create the illusion of texture.
Simulated texture replicates the appearance of reality.
Invented textures are made to evoke unusual textures and are not based on the natural world.
Smooth surfaces are even and regular with diverse appearances including matte, moist, or shiny.
Rough surfaces are uneven, irregular, or jagged.
Matte surfaces are dull and lusterless but can be smooth or rough.
Shiny surfaces are glossy and highly polished.

Explore the characteristics of smooth and rough textiles, and learn about various fabric folds such as pipe, zigzag, spiral, and half-lock. This quiz will help you understand how to effectively depict textile folds in your drawings. Test your knowledge on the different types of fabrics and their unique folding techniques.
