Sketchbook of the S4MURAI

Quote:Yeah,it is kinda hard to mimic a desirable texture you want,but when you nailed it down it becomes super easy! One thing that helped me with textures is to understand how to use it. Just draw a simple square,triangle or a sphere and fill it with texture. Use different hatching in order to achieve smooth or rough surface. The best thing to do is to look on the internet how others use their lines and copy it.

Texture's definitely one of the things I had trouble with. :) I'll try what you suggest. I'm beginning to feel a bit more comfortable with texture now, but I still need a lot of practice. I did actually look at other artists' lines a bit to see how they captured the feel of a texture. I'll do some more of that. I assume you mean copying how they use their lines to capture texture, and not just copying their texture thoughtlessly, as we don't tend to learn much by just copying? ^^

Your heads look cool! But the necks, yeah, you over-lengthened those a bit. No problem, that's how we learn. I would actually be very interested to see how you are studying the head, if it isn't too much trouble to upload your sketches!
