Texture is the way an object feels to touch. The objective of creating texture in art is to stimulate the sense of touch.

 In art we create visual texture, which means to create an illusion in your 2-D drawing so that an object looks the same way as it feels to touch.

There are various ways to create texture in your art:

1. Using lines– hatching, cross hatching and contouring lines creates illusion of texture
2. Stippling – Stippling is adding dots create value and shadow
3. Patterns– Different kind of patterns can give the feel of different texture.
4. Using the other elements of art like lines, shape value, form, colors etc.
