Yo! C77 Sketch: How to Add Texture to Your Sketches
The secret's out! Michael DiTullo demonstrates his go-to method for adding awesome texture to analog sketches
By Michael DiTullo - April 4, 2018
Many of my analog sketches have this great texture to them. The secret is a piece of mesh textile that I put below the surface of the sketch that transfers through by rubbing the paper with a colored pencil. I show off the technique in this shoe sketch. Give it a try in your drawings and tag us if you post it on instagram.
As always, if you have any questions or comments on the techniques shown, leave them in the comments below. What other techniques would you like to see?
Enter a caption (optional)Yo! C77 Sketch is a video series from Core77 forum moderator and prolific designer, Michael DiTullo. In these tutorials, DiTullo walks you through step by step rapid visualization and ideation techniques to improve your everyday skills. Tired of that guy in the studio who always gets his ideas picked because of his hot sketches? Learn how to beat him at his own game, because the only thing worse than a bad idea sketched well is a great idea sketched poorly.

Yo! C77 Sketch: How to Add Texture to Your Sketches
I remember the eighties and nineties when I collected mosquito netting, nylon socks, corrugated and other textures materials in a flat tupperware for these purposes.
