Festive Textures
Every course focuses on one technique and takes you from first stroke to finished piece.
Two ornate Venetian masks, dozens of textures. This course is a deep study in rendering different materials side by side: golden fabric, brown velvet, silver trim, brass bells, red enamel, porcelain, gold leaf, cracked porcelain, pink satin, blue velvet, shimmery trim, and silk ribbons. Each texture gets its own focused lesson, and they all come together in two elaborate mask illustrations.
If you want to level up your ability to make colored pencil drawings look like they contain real materials, this is the course that will get you there.
After this course, you will...
- Render golden fabric, velvet, satin, and silk with distinct textures
- Create convincing metallic surfaces including silver trim, brass, and gold leaf
- Draw realistic porcelain and cracked porcelain with 3D gold leaf design
- Layer red enamel with harlequin patterns and inlay detail
