## Caption

Week 2 ends with a bold texture shift.
In Day 10 of 20 Days of Procreate Play, Claire Makes Things introduces halftone textures, a classic print technique that creates depth, contrast, and gradients using dots instead of smooth shading.

You’ll explore how to:

Use halftone brushes for shading and blending

Create optical depth with dots instead of gradients

Apply multiply layers for print-style contrast

Shift textures slightly for a retro, imperfect feel

Combine halftones with clean line details

This lesson is all about intentional imperfection and learning how texture choices alone can completely change the mood and style of an illustration.
