Strange question here. I am working on a spider drawing and came to an impasse trying to depict the silk that spider’s use to wrap their prey, and sometimes cover their eggs. i tried using the old lightning trick of creating difference clouds, and then adding adjustment layers for eradicating white and inverting. It looked too much like lightning.
basically i need something gossamer, stringy, black with very shiny white pinpoint highlights.
Then I tried a few other things like adding a heavy canvas underpainting filter and the colored pencil filter with long strokes. Then adding a blur to string it out a bit. That gave me an (almost acceptable) gossamer quality, but i still haven’t figured out how to add an occasional twinkle to make it look silken.
any suggestions are appreciated.
