How to Apply Flocking to an Illustration
March 31, 2010
Artist BT Livermore recently published this unique process post about flocking a book cover for his current project, Bearfight, a collection of 77 artists, (including myself) depicting their take on the word “bearfight”.
What is flocking?
In BT’s words, “flocking is made up of powdered rayon fibers, which when adhered to any object with the proper adhesive, creates a fuzzy, felt-like texture.”
If you’ve ever wondered how to add more texture and dimension using this technique, check out the post here.
If you’re interested, you can see a color version of my Illustration for this book here.
