Mini Photoshop Tutorial
A quick method for creating velvet textured clothing.
First, select the white swatch of the piece that you intend to recolor. If there isn’t a white swatch, use a B&W adjustment layer.
On the right side of your screen, right click on the layer to bring up a drop-down menu. Select the, ‘duplicate’, option.
Select the duplicate layer, and change the layer style to, ‘exclusion’. This will start the base of our velvet or suede-like texture, by inverting the shadows and highlights.
Right click on the layer to bring up the drop-down menu, and select, ‘merge visible’.
Add noise by going to filter > noise > add noise. This will give your base a bit more texture.
