Texture is the surface quality of an object or two dimensional piece of artwork. It is another element of design and can take a piece of artwork to another level. Texture can be something that you can actually reach out and feel or it can be implied. A texture can be rough or smooth and things like wood grain, bark, denim, fur, and sand are all considered a type of texture. Again, these can be on a piece of artwork or can be recreated to look like that material.
Some ideas for texture:
- Metallic
- Scaly
- Furry
- Grassy
- Feathery
- Spikey
- Coral
- Rocky

Texture is pretty easy to understand and use when making art. Hopefully this helps anyone who needs an idea on how to tackle it!
