Definitely. But I feel untextured stuff, say with only contour lines, doesn't looks as "nice". Clearly this is a matter of personal preference.

By the way, here's a link to a preview the sketching class from Daniel Park in case anyone wanted to see the process being demoed:

I also learned it from Daniel Park from the Foundation Group's dynamic sketching classes.

I still need a lot of practice, maybe I'm over complicating things in my mind but I struggled a lot to try and texture some damn leafs in some plants. I still would be struggling if it weren't for your leaf example.

I feel quite the opposite. I feel textures 'beautify' everything!

Thanks Umconfortable! Not sure if this is cheating but for those of us newbies here is an example on texture exercises from Dynamic Sketching classes:

This is amazing, thank you! I saw some mistakes I've made myself.
