Cotton Weave/iPod Drawing
This drawing was done for my friend Lisa to be included in a project she did last year. I had to draw an object that meant something to me (if I recall correctly….) My iPod is something Shally gave to me for my birthday, and it’s one of just a few things that I use absolutely all day, every day, so I picked it to be my object for this project.
It was also an exercise in figuring out how to draw the cotton sock. I used to draw things as just a series of gradients, but If you look at a piece of fabric closely, you’ll notice that it’s a bunch of threads. So, how do you draw that?
Short answer: take a photograph, play around with levels in Photoshop, and then put it over a drawing of an iPod.
