### Summary

In this text, a tutorial is presented on how to draw various fabric textures and patterns such as jersey fabric, cable knit sweater, ribbing, and inertia using color markers and color pencils. The tutorial provides two methods for shading cable-knit patterns, techniques for creating realistic drawings of different types of fabric textures and patterns, and an explanation of various knitting patterns and ribbons.

Highlights

• Learn to draw different fabric textures and patterns using color markers and color pencils
• Two methods for shading cable-knit patterns with 3D and Relius effects
• Different types of cable knits and ribbing techniques (one by one, two by two, or two by one)

Key Takeaways

• Alternating pattern: creates intricate designs by alternating between two stitch types in a repeating pattern
• Quick hops: fast technique with short jumps between stitch patterns
• Darker shading: adds depth and texture to knitted work
• Two by two patterns: consist of two rows with hearts or other shapes for visually appealing designs
• Knitting machine lines: use rounded shapes and avoid precise lines to mimic machine effect
• Handmade vs printed look: distinguish between handmade and printed patterns using uneven, organic shapes for the former, and more precise, uniform shapes for the latter
