Textures is a way of depicting the feel or depth of an object. Example: A ton of
evenly spaced thin lines to show something that has a rough feeling, little
shadowing showing not much change and steep. Thicker lines and more shadowing
showing something more taperd and less ridgy i.e. a washboard. Dots to show that
something has all these little bumps, waves in the hair. Anything to add more
realistic, 3d feel to a 2d object. Usually using shapes, lines, and shadowing.
There are sites that give you premade textures, like in this thread: Textures
These can be added into your Photoshop where you can make your art from, note
that defferent versions of Photoshop has different ways to operate
How to use textures, well, depends on what types of textures you're talking
about. For a uniform-type texture, I usually just fill a new layer with the
desired texture, and play around with the layer blending modes. You can also
work textures into your art by treating it like a stock photo and do some
photomanipulation (like using masks, blend modes, painting over bits, etc).
hi i need some help with photoshop regarding textures and i thought this would
be the appropriate thread to post about it. i'd just like to know how to create
that texture with the bunch of horizontal lines running across kinda like the
lines u see on television sets. i looked all over and couldn't seem to find it
any where in photoshop. first time posting i hope i didn't break any
rules.
I was wondering what exactly are textures, and how can i use them in my art?
