Let's learn how to paint a knitted sweater. In this tutorial, I'll show you the brief steps that you can easily understand and adapt them to fit with your painting style. 

 

STEP #1 

After adding the base color, define the light direction and use "Soft Airbrush" to color the lighter part of the sweater.

 

STEP #2

Create new layer with "Multiply" mode and make a shading by using purple color.

 

STEP #3

Create new "Multiply" layer and add more shading to the fold of the knitted cloth by using the darker purple color.

 

STEP #4

Create new normal layer and use light yellow color for painting the brightest parts of the sweater. After that, I added a little rim light on the edge of the arm. Then it's done!

Here is the screen capture of the painting step I made. I hope it'll help you understand more about the overall process.
