The first texture in the texture analysis is supposed to be crumpled paper ( not sure it is always followed or still the rule ). Anyway.
I am doing this and obviously finding it challenging when using a fineliner which is either on or off when much of the image is midtoned.
Any idea whether cross hatching is allowed or is it just a combination of black and white that is required.
No cross hatching unless the texture really looks like that (which you'll find crumbled paper does not). The point of the assignment is that challenge that you only have black and white to work with and you have to determine the shapes of the shadows. Maybe take a look at some other submissions to see how people tackled the problem.
I had a look at recent ones but nobody was doing crumpled paper for the first one. Even the example one in the exercise didn't.
But thanks for the response, I assumed this was the case but wanted to check.
Thanks for this. I think I am on the right track.
Thank you, this was very useful for me aswell
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
