Pencil Textures

This was an assignment for school. Each square is 2x2 inches, and rendered using 4H, 2H, F, 2B, and 4B. It varied, but I used the pencils to suit the task. Each square took an hour of my time or so.



See how many of them you can guess.

OH OH!!! lemme guess, this is one of those games on the backs of those magazines that you have to guess what it is close up!

ha ok theres a football, some netting, hm is that rice, and some poppy seeds. fish scales too?

hm...

interesting study.

These look awesome, im just curious at what size you did these.

Middle right is diamonds I think.

Everything you said is true Wormskull . . . except the bit about the rice. Subliminal Messages from the Eagle Nebula!

Yes, I used a reference; everything I drew was right in front of my face. If by size you mean dimensions LightKirtar, they are 2 inches square. If you mean magnification, it varies. It should become clear the size when the identity is known.

First one is indeed rice. The last one isn't a football, but close enough; it is a leather seam. Vegetarian cookie, well it was a rye cracker of sorts with sesame on top. I'll give some hints in case anyone wants to tax their brains.

1. Rice; 2. Mario Food; 3. Rye Cracker; 4. New Zealand; 5. Anti-Cancer; 6. Shiny Cooking; 7. Tree seed; 8. Sheep needle; 9. Leather seam

Thanks for the replies. I had a wood grain one too, actually, but it was more the underside of a peice of bark so it didn't look convincing after I rendered it.

You mean the ampersand? No, I like writing out and, because that was how they learnt me good when I was a young 'un.

And no, there are no arrogant neutrons this time around. I'll spill the beans, so to say.

1. Rice; 2. Mushroom Gills; 3. Rye Cracker; 4. Kiwi Fruit; 5. Broccoli; 6. Aluminum Foil; 7. Pine Cone; 8. Knit Wool; 9. Leather Seam

I had most fun rendering the Rice, Broccoli, and the leather. The wool wasn't bad, but I had to rush through it to get to school on time.

Wow, I'm very impressed with these. I really like looking at the thumbnail because of how realistic it looks. I bet it looks good at 2x2 also and quite impressive if I may say so myself. Very nice work. I commend you for your 30 minutes on each.

Hmm...I think that the aluminum could have used more work. But there are all realy good.
