    Playing with low resolution bitmap brushes may add interesting natural media effects.

    1.Draw a line and clone it with a larger feathering level,
    2.resize it to a small size (here 23 pts) and create bitmap copy,
    3.rotate this bitmap copy
    4.create a new bitmap copy (allways at the small size) to add some random blur; then resize (here to 100 pts) and convert to editable shape with single tile fill,
    5.create brush, unchecking tile fills and playing with it (some randomisation is more natural).
    6.Here the line is converted to shapes and they are ungrouped and got a wall shadow.
    7.Dark grey brush cloned and slightly nudged with a bleach transparency applied to the clone

    Here are the brushes.

    Uncredibly lightweight for so sophisticated effects!

    Tried to use a weave effect to produce a pully but I'm lousy at knitting.
    The brush was made from one shape, contoured once and blended. I kept it as a vector to get the shrinking into distance effect.
    There are 3 brush strokes blended to make the material
