texture

Went off a different prompt list today because I really wanted to draw something chill. Also I wanted to do some reference pose practice. PIntrest is a god send for trying to figure out how body's move. XD. This one is much more simple since I wasn't too focused on finishing the full color. Instead I played around with a few of my drawing programs tools. Tried to use its coloring mask, patterns, and texture brushes to get a simple yet readable mood.

I wanted to keep a theme going with drawings and the textures I use.

Quick sketch of textures and depth I probably drew it a lil too quick ;( Mediums: White charcoal, Charcoal

Had some fun doing some crosshatching. Wanted to see if it would give the trees more texture instead of just leaving it blank.

Still feeling this spooky character. The texture on the drawing is from RetroSupply

A gentle soul who is a bit lost

For the last day of Inktober, I drew a pumpkin with black india ink on orange paper. I had never done an Inktober challenge before, and I really liked it! I'm definitely doing it next year, too. I got very good ideas for new projects, I played with different textures and colours, and I used a calligraphic pen to draw, which I had never done before and which I loved.

A texture study

Experimenting with doodles and textures in Photoshop!

Textures of paint

This spread was unfinished for over a year and I finally got around to completing it. Micron on Molskine sketch grade paper.

My sketchbook spread. This is actually a moleskin watercolor album which I'm mostly using to draw from life. This is sharp and spiky versus soft and fluffy. The models were the two of my house plants, and aim was a texture and light study.

This is from one of my older sketchbooks. I used salt on the red watercolor paint while it was still wet to get the textured background effect.

This is a piece of work of a canal in Amsterdam. i made a rubbing with pencil of a interesting patterned wall to create a base tone and then worked into it. This helped focus on tone and create interesting textures.
