    Dirt & More
Drawing a dirt texture is somewhat similar to grass. Only this time we aren't using highlights at all. All you need to do is grab your base dirt colour, spinkle some random darker dirt colours around it and then another lot of random (lighter) dirt colours. An example can been seen below.



Figure 4.8

Other textures are created in similar ways. The best advice I can give you is to look at real-life textures, or search for images of textures using a search engine. Studying these photographs usually helps you decide what to draw and where your shading and highlights need to be.
