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.
