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!

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"

It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
