THIS IS HOW WE DO IT


 


TEXTURE IN 3D

 

I've had many requests for how I am achieving the textured look along with a 3d pop in my latest tube shares.  It's actually quite easy, and once you master it, you'll be turning out stunning tubes that we will all get to enjoy!  Just remember to "tube" them for the best possible result.

 

THE BASIC TEXTURE PROMPT:

 

 bright bold lines, ACRYLIC watercolor, semi realistic, whimsical quirky Mary Engelbreit style, image of 3d textured (thing, animal, person) (what it is wearing if anything, colors etc) (what that thing is doing, example standing, sitting, walking, playing, sleeping, etc)  developed with enhanced digital features, on white background, full image

 

 To get an even better enhanced texture look, I apply word texture to the item of clothing, or other items in the prompt.

 

Let's look at my blackbird prompt:

 wide angle bright bold lines, ACRYLIC watercolor, semi realistic, whimsical quirky Mary Engelbreit style, image of 3d textured 3 BLACKBIRDS, each bird is distinct and different in size and shape, standing on a wood fence, making silly faces, developed with enhanced digital features, on white background, full image

 


 

See the wonderful texture in their body?  It is also prominent because you applied the style of 3d.  Let's try another prompt:

 wide angle bright bold lines, ACRYLIC watercolor, semi realistic, whimsical quirky Mary Engelbreit style, image of 3d textured 3 owls, each bird is distinct and different in size and shape, standing on a branch with textured green leaves, making silly faces, developed with enhanced digital features, on white background, full image

 


 

 Don't be afraid to utilize different colors and mediums.

Now let's add texture to items, not animals.

 bright bold lines, ACRYLIC watercolor, semi realistic,whimsical quirky Mary engelbreit style, image of 3d textured clay pot holding black eyed susan 3d textured flowers, developed with enhanced digital features, on white background

 


 You can also add grattage texture to an image. Grattage is an artistic technique that involves laying a painted canvas over a textured object, such as wire mesh or a piece of wood, and then scraping or rubbing off the paint. The process often results in unexpected patterns or textures on the canvas. If you have ever done Ukranian Easter eggs, you know the technique.

 Bing is now allowing you to change aspect ratio, which is height to width.  I change the aspect ratio on this prompt to 7:4.  This allows the entire car from bumper to bumper to display without cropping.

You can change the medium (the paint, chalk, ink, etc).

 Replace acrylic with other art mediums. Use glass, wood, porcelain, etc.
