painting faux texture

[nosirrahkcaz]

Looking for help or some tutorial links for painting faux texture on items like cloaks or banners. Any help would be much appreciated, my Google foo failed me. Here is an example.

More so the background of the banner not the design on it.

Thanks,
Z

Cross hatching is fun place to start.

Looks like sponging or stippling to me - or very, very tiny paisley...done by fairies.:suspicious:

Thanks guys, I had thought about stippling as I use it occasionally. I'm going to give the cross hatch technique a try. People are getting great results on armour so it looks to be a good skill to try and learn for the texture as well as other applications.

I've enjoyed a layer of crosshatched highlights atop the normal ranging shades/highlights. Does appear to give the material a heavy weight effect.

Wyrm do you have an example I could see?

'Fraid not, have yet to learn how my camera works.

The texture technique ain't so tricky though.

Looks like the example was done by applying the paint as dots rather than stroking it on. Eg you paint a mid tone base coat and then using a brush with a good tip place your shadows and highlights by dotting thin paint on, not going for complete coverage. Make sure that some darker tones make it into the mid tone area and maybe even the highlight areas. Reapply the mid tone as necessary using the same dotting idea. It will destroy your brush, but it gives a nice effect.

Needs some work but its getting there.

Hi, thought I'd respond to this because its something I have a lot of experience with. I got into miniatures painting recently, but I've been doing ink sketches via stippling for a very long time.

From a sketching/drawing perspective, stippling is the most effective way to control the value (miniatures people call it shadows/highlights). Stippling is meant to make whatever it is you're drawing look like It's impacted or engraved, but on a miniature its mostly used just to shade colors. If you've ever read the wall street journal, there are stipple pictures at the bottom of every front page.

Here's an example of how stippling used in drawings should be applied to miniatures. I got back into the hobby after seeing this because its really a work of art, not just a cool mini. http://boardgamesminisandmore.blogspot.com/2012/12/warmachine-lady-ayana-master-painted.html?m=1

Pay special attention to how the stippling is used to create a pattern. Really can't say how in love I am with this mini because it uses the very same technique I use when doing pen work.
