Using textur

Have you discovered any new ways of using your drawing tools to depict surface and texture?

Yes I have mostly with inks tho. I've experimented with ink dropping this can give a pitted texture of mimic a surface with dark dots such as the imperfections in walnut wood. Also ink washing to give a smooth texture.




How successful were you at implying form with little or no tonal hatching?

I found it difficult to not use any tonal hatching but the use of line and light and shade should be enouth to imply an objects form frow texture. I think I managed to capture the form and texture of these objects without the use of to much tonal shading or ground shadow.

What are your impressions of frottage as a drawing technique?

I enjoyed playing around with a coin and block of wood and I was quite happy with there effect but I haven't yet thort or an application for it.
