At-home (road trip) exercise

This week I was on a road trip and spent some time analyzing a few material textures inside my car. The first was a fabric material on the seat, which I hadn’t really noticed before. It felt different touching with my whole hand versus tracing the stitches with one finger.
The second material was the hard/smooth leather covering the dash. At first glance the material doesn’t have much of a texture but close up it becomes more evident.

There were many mountain views throughout the road trip. Here I tried to depict the different textures created by the mountains, trees, snow, and sky.

Trying to analyze the changing views while thinking about light, texture and detail became visually over-stimulating after some time.
