Thanks for your reply.
I apologize if I didn't quite understand, but do you mean having dense texture near the silhouette of each form and sparse texture near the center? If so, what if the light source was directly pointed towards the sides of the object? If possible, can you show a diagram of what you mean?
Also, which gradient exercise were you talking about specifically?
Hi,
I am talking about the third box of this exercise : https://drawabox.com/lesson/2/textureanalysis
Position your texture depending on where you want your light source to be. I said put the light more near the center because it's easier at first to draw as if the light was coming from you. Then you could move to giving a different orientation to the light, after being comfortable with putting in texture. Well you can skip this step if you don't think it's helpful.
You might want to watch this video. It really helped me understand the concept of texture : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri01PNdEBxQ&feature=youtu.be
At 7:22, on the right, you have a perfect example.
Have fun!
Alright then. Thanks for your help!
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
