Study Notes

### 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.
