Here's part two on how I add textures to my art!

As this was the most asked question, I also did a poll on this a few weeks ago whether or not I should make a part two, and based on the results it seems like a lot of you guys would like to know my second method of adding textures. So BAM IT'S HERE Y'ALL, ENJOY THE LONG READING

Some Small Tips

- Use a texture with high resolution. Using a low res texture will make the texture not look good anymore if you blow it up big to fit the drawing ( unless you draw on a very small canvas unlike me ;w; )

- Use material textures like paper, cardboard, metal, walls, bricks etc. to give the drawing a more "natural" look

- In some cases, use a texture that fits the mood, theme, colors, etc. of the drawing

- Don't use more too many textures on one image! It'll ruin the quality of the drawing and it'll not look interesting anymore! If you are going to use multiple textures, I suggest no more than two or three textures.

Sites on where I get my textures

- Textures.com (you'll need to make a account in order to download the textures, and there's a limit on how much you can download each day)

- On dA searching "texture"

- Even Google! Just google the texture that you've like to use and google can gather up any sites that provide it!
