How to Draw Texture in Cartoons

Video Transcript

"We are going to do some details in texture now. Now we have been working with wide open spaces so far. We have been working with a face and hair like this. But of course real life is fancier and if you want to make your cartoon drawings look fancier you can start to add details and texture. For hair you can just do something simple like this. But what kind of hair do you want? If you want it to be curlier you can do something like that. Now the cool thing about details and textures almost impossible to mess up. If I make a straight hair go out like that oops because I messed up just balance it out on that side. Add a little more and still cool. A little bit frizzier of a hairstyle but still looks like a real cartoon drawing. The same can be applied to anything. We are talking about a tree and we did talk about the bark on a tree how that makes it look so much more like real tree and it's just lines and they don't even have to look good or be special they are just more of a rhythm you get with your hand and you are adding certain types of texture and you just get faster and faster at it. If you want to make it rougher bark along the bottom and when you get up into the little branches you want to make it more thinner textured bark you can do that. You can do this to anything and sometimes a tabletop that looks like a beautiful wonderful boring tabletop just add a little bit of that bark sense there and what do you have? It starts to look more like a wooden tabletop. Now the cool thing about texture in 3D is you want to go the same direction as your lines here. Or at least have this pane and this pane and this pane with different direction lines but there you have kind of a wooden table top. I'm not going to draw all of the legs but clothing you can add texture too. Just go like just basically, its basically just coloring in but it's coloring in with a rhythm and there are all different types of textures. Just look at things in life there are textures that go this way, straight sometimes you can just add dots to things and it makes the material look more like kind of porase or cotton. You can add little pock marks. Play around there is now limit and the more texture you add the more your cartoons will look slightly more realistic and cool."
