It's also very learnable, and in this video you'll get to dip your toe into the world of illustration by seeing how a high-caliber artist approaches texturing inside of Photoshop.

In this tutorial, Sarah Beth Morgan who teaches Illustration for Motion will show you a texturing technique that she uses all the time on client work and personal projects. It doesn't require any third-party tools, just plain ol' Photoshop. By the end of this lesson, you'll feel a heck of a lot more comfortable adding texture to your designs.
