This is what I produced for a project to study texture.
Materials
1. HB Pencil
2. 2B Pencil
3. Eraser
4. Gluestick
5. PVA Glue
6. Scissors
7. Ruler
8. Paint brushes
9. Acrylic Paint (red, white, green)
10. Old sweater
11. Paper
12. Illustration Board
Process
1. I began by cutting paper in to 4 x 4” squares until I had three
2. Next, I took an old sweater, measured, and cut a 4 x 4” section of the fabric. Using PVA glue, I glued this to one of the paper squares.
3. I began the trompe l’oeil rendering by using an HB pencil to sketch the vertical thread pattern. Once happy with the results, I went over the outline in 0.1mm tip ink pen.
4. I repeated the process for the horizontal thread pattern, additionally shading using a 2B pencil.
5. For the abstract rendering, I used acrylic to paint light and dark green horizontal stripes and red threads running vertically down the paper.
6. Finally, I used a glue stick to glue the three squares onto 5 x 5" illustration boards. This is the final product.
