Your work is really lovely. I'm just wondering: how do you get such a texture with your illustrations? D: I've been having difficulty.

Thank you so much! Each my illustrations starts out as a black and white graphite drawing, which is where I achieve the texture. I use a kneaded eraser to lightly dab and soften the graphite: through softening it kind of blends into the paper and as a result takes on the paper's texture (if that makes sense.) The paper I use has a grainy texture I really like, it's called Arches Watercolor Hot Press (140 pd).

When I take it in photoshop for coloring I'll usually add a subtle texture at about 30 percent opacity (so not too dramatic a change but enough to give a little something extra.)

You can check out this blog post to see a black and white version and then what it looks like once colored: [link]

Hope that made sense and thanks again!
