Walter Foster - Textures in Colored Pencil

Textures in Colored Pencil

Master 101 essential textures with step-by-step colored pencil techniques

Sand, water, metals, foliage, stone, grass, hair, and dozens more. Rather than vague technique suggestions, you get concrete instruction for the exact texture you're attempting to capture.

The organization saves time during actual projects. Sections group textures by subject matter, so when you're mid-drawing and need to figure out tree bark or aged copper, you flip directly to relevant examples rather than searching through unrelated content. Each texture gets its own page with progressive steps and a final detailed reference image.

Howard's approach suits both problem-solving during active work and deliberate practice sessions. Study one texture thoroughly or browse multiple variations of similar surfaces to understand underlying principles. At 128 pages, this paperback provides enough variety to handle most common colored pencil subjects while maintaining the focused, step-by-step format that makes texture work less intimidating and more systematic.
