Now I teach you woven fabrics rendering in shoe illustration :

This shoe illustration was made for retail store advertising.

DRAWING TIP :

The easiest way to draw a woven fabric is to break it down into a graphic grid and draw it with a repetition of both shadow and reflection.

TIP: To speed up the drawing process, use a repetitive method. Draw all the same sides on each section of a woven pattern, for example, then draw all the next sides on each section.

Initial sketch in woven fabrics rendering

STEP 1– Begin with a smooth edge in colored pencil.
Lay down your base shadow tones with colored pencil.
Add a grid of the weave pattern with a hard graphite pencil.
Outline and color the individual sections with a darker-colored pencil. Darken the shadows on the individual sections.
