  • Learn how to add shading with a pencil to basic forms in this fundamental drawing tutorial. For more on this lesson, visit thevirtualinstructor.com/shape...
    Shading is the process of adding to value to a drawing. When we get the values right, the illusion of form and light are communicated in the drawing. By learning how to draw basic forms, we can be more successful when drawing more complex subjects. This exercise is completed on bristol paper, but any drawing paper will result in similar results.

      its in a different language so out subtitles on but it explains it very well in my opinion

    When your using a pencil, make sure to move your lines further apart away from eachother when its lights and the lines closer and darker when the shadows are dark.

  • @inkoksikate
    @inkoksikate Před 2 lety +34

    Total beginner and I am missing a lot of information here. Where exactly did you assume your light source to be? A mark on the paper would help to visualise that. How do you determine (construct) where the "core shadow", "midtone" and "hightlight" areas should be placed? Where does that "reflective hightlight"come from and would it still be there if the object was not placed on a white surface? If this is not targeted for beginners then never mind - otherwise it would be great if you could add that info.

    • @raspy__
      @raspy__ Před 2 lety +5

    • @reflexon5760

    • @mohammadabudhaim8400
      @mohammadabudhaim8400 Před rokem +3

      Late reply but to help you out (if you still need help) finding and understanding the different tones of shadow is very tricky. To be able to understand and master it, you must draw from real life. Ik it can be very intimidating to draw from real life but its really the best route to become a decent artist. These kind of videos usually lack information and basic techniques, and for beginners its very easy to be demotivated because they don’t understand whats happening and end up memorizing things. for example the way he drew the cast shadow is very unclear but the good thing is, cast shadows are very easy to understand and can be learned pretty quickly.
      Sometimes understanding the simple physics and concepts on why and where shadows and values exist help you draw more accurately. And with drawing from life practice, you’ll be able to improve your visual library and eventually draw from imagination without being limited to one light source direction like this video showed
      I hope this helped,
      Good luck 😁

    If you don't want the shading to be so grainy-looking, try using your finger to blend out the graphite. It gives the shading a nice, soft look to it.

      The only problem with that is that the oils from your skin will leave marks that darken over time... like when you wipe your hands on a napkin after eating french fries. I would recommend using smudging tools such as tortillons.
