What's in Premium?

This lesson introduces a two-level warmup for creating gradations with texture. First, we'll cover 2D patterns like hatching, cross-hatching, and scumbling. You'll practice controlling value by adjusting the density and thickness of your lines.

Then, we'll move to level two: rendering 3D textures. I'll show you how to think about materials like tree bark, fur, and fish scales as they wrap around a form. We'll break down how to draw their tiny forms, form shadows, and cast shadows to create convincing surfaces. This exercise will improve your line quality and help you reveal form with confident, intentional strokes.

I think he mentioned in a livestream that he was thinking of doing a workshop after taking a break but I’m not sure .

Finally caught up. Here's what I did. Tried multiple patterns. One thing I noticed is that my value gradations generally don't look uniform when I squint.

I warmed up with level 1 and then the level 2 assignment, a bit over done, although I do like the first three.
Alison Shelton
This is my first attempt at the warm up. I was using a fountain pen for most of it. I will try this again in the next few days, maybe level 2 as well.
Alison Shelton
Mine aren’t as clean as others. I guess I should slow down.
Tommy Pinedo
This was pretty fun to experiment different textures.
Andrew Kovachik
A very fun warm up! I look forward to trying the level 2 version of this warm up at some soon.

Haha, I am thinking almost the same! It's a wonderful time and a fantastic course, but we must always move forward and learn. I'm looking forward to each upcoming lesson. I have never seen a better course than this one; Stan is truly exceptional and great Teacher.
Keith Harrison
Keep sketching everyday and enjoy! I'm just starting my journey.
Tommy Pinedo
I know right! I started this course a year ago and I love this course. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn how to draw! I am excited to try other courses on proko!
Daniel Lucas Nizari
Also love the books from Alphonso Dunn. Should do that again more often

I really needed someone to tell me to do this... I've seen similar things online and been meaning to have a go for a while.

That’s beautiful
Norm Lanting
Stan, can you suggest books or other resources to get the most out of Wrightson and Frazetta? Also is there a deadline date for this assignment?
