Use texture to create amazing realism in artworks
Every object has a texture.
Water has a smooth, shiny and reflective texture while grass has a rough and pointy texture. You can experiment with different lines to create interesting looking textures. Short scribble lines can be used to create the texture on a tennis ball while longer curvy lines can be used for curly human hair. Texture is a great way to express yourself.
Use different mediums and varied lines to create texture
Don't
be afraid to let go a bit and experiment with different mediums like
charcoal, ink, pencil, different papers and so on. As you experiment,
you will learn what works and what doesn't. You can also use different
types of lines to create visually stimulating texture. Vary the
thickness of your line and relax your hand for for the best results.
You can experiment with sharp and blunt pencils. You can also hold the
tip of the pencil flat against the paper, pressing hard and soft to get
different styles.

An
important thing to remember when you apply texture to a drawing is that
all the other drawing elements still apply. You must still spend time
on your shape and line and also remember that you must still apply tonal
value and show volume. When most beginner apply texture they sometimes
spend so much time on their texture and then it is amazing but they
completely neglected the rest of the elements and then the drawing is
still lacking.
I
can promise that if you add texture to your drawing while still
applying all the different drawing elements, you will amaze yourself and
leave others awe-struck. It is a smart trick to making your drawing
look like a master piece, if used correctly.
