To find subjects for your work, think about topics that you care about. What people, animals, or activities are exciting? Our focus today is adding texture to your picture, but nearly every object you choose to draw has textures. You probably already have access to pictures of the subjects that you like. Go to those sources. Look at your selected photograph to make sure the subject is close enough that the texture is clearly seen. In this drawing, you may use both drawing and rubbing methods within the same picture. Draw a picture that shows a variety of textures. On the previous page we show an approach that you might take when making your own drawing. (1) We begin with lines. (2) Fill spaces with pencils as you make marks to show areas of texture. (3) Add the darkest areas using a soft B pencil of the highest number in your set. Student Gallery Adam Gutierrez and Phillip Bradick
