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.

These look great, I love the rock :)
SO!! First time doing texture, and I had a fun time doing it. However, I did watch some other videos, which helped me out a lot with drawing 3D Textures. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Fantastic exercises. So much more easy-going execution than when I did this with the DrawABox Challenges.
I note that, without intention, my marks become pretty sloppy. Some marks are easier than others. If I don’t use my whole arm to make straight marks, they are not straight.
