The focus of this week was texture, surface textures are difficult to define and have many different variations of each type of texture, it also depends on the artist's own experience on drawing these textures. I broke a A4 piece of paper down into 6 different texture comparisions that included 12 textures.
I then recreated both soft and hard textures to see the difference between them and also how you would recreated them in a still life drawing with lots of textures in it. Shading is important here because the darker the shading the harder the surface looks. It was important to include detail but not too much because these textures need to be quick to recreate so you don't spend hours doing them.
The second set of texture comparisions I did were more softer textures and were a lot more difficult to recreate, by doing this type of texturing you can aproximate just about any texture without wasting too much time focusing on every little detail.
Textures like skin and wood are diffeicult to recreate well because there is a lot of very small detail that you need to empisise in your drawings but not spend too much time on it. So it is difficult to decide to either go for detail or focus on getting a approximation of that certain texture.
