***** right I haven't met a teacher who had close to the skills i have or had. But i learned that you can always learn or see a different point of view.
I asked my teacher how to draw waves in the sea realistically using light and shadow. She took a soft pastel and just drew a couple of "wwww" shapes and called it a day. It's been 7 years and i'm still bitter I wasted my time studying art at school.
How can anyone dislike this video? It's outstanding! The best animations around, incredibly informative, unbelievable examples, and even humor! This guy needs his own TV show.
no hands on,dosent explain where I should find the shadow,alot of talking not enough demonstration all he do is talk about it not enough showing us how to find shadows or shade
As a beginner I’ve really struggled with a lot of the fundamentals, shading being actually one of the hardest to get used to, this video has been a serious help thank you so much!!
Damn, this is the most important drawing teaching that I had in the last few months. It's amazing how 12 minutes has change all my last year drawings... Thank you Proko!
Remember to step back from your drawing once in a while to see how its coming along, AND close your eyes 1/4 way and you will SEE more of the contrast of light and shadow.
This is also good to do to preserve your eyesight. When we get stuck in tunnel vision we tense up the muscles in the eyes and this causes eye strain. Over time this weakens our eyesight.
I can't believe I never noticed the difference between the center light and highlight. 36 years old and every time I draw something, I've only took the center light into consideration. Thanks for pointing out what I should have noticed 30 years ago!
I dont know if it's just me but I think is so complicated to think about it that way, rather than a simplified shape, I mean, an object with too much detail can be hard to be think of with the hands, rather than simplifiying it. You get the feeling, but not the entire 3-Dimensional view of it
My heart is broke lol. He said cheap... Maybe cheap for someone!! Not me... So sad, love your work!! I was seriously considering looking into this "premium package". Maybe one day I can afford it! Keep up your wonderful talents!! BTW your prices are actually extremely reasonable for any GOOD art education I've found online, especially whole courses. Love it!! Just can't afford it myself haha. Love your work.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! You don't know how long i've been looking for a lesson on actual shading theory. There are so many videos that teach you different techniques or how to shade based on color theory, but there's not a single one that teaches you how to do the actual thing. Personally, i've always had trouble placing shadows accurately, but your example of the polygons made it so much easier for me to understand it. So, thanks again! Keep up the good work!
Although I am not a beginning artist, I have found that working through your videos makes for improvement in my pieces. I appreciate your references to math, and being a math professor I have often found it difficult for students to understand that math is such an integral part of art. Thanks and keep the videos coming. Dr. B
Talking about values... This video has so much of it :) One of your best yet. A little addition. The way you paint a highlight, adds a lot to the definition of the texture or material of the object. Paint a highlight with sharp, very clean edges and it will look like a glossy, plastic surface, add some irregular edges to the highlight, and it will look like some sand or stone texture etc.
Omg this helped so much I have been looking for forever for a video that will help with my shading and this video was 10/10 amazing! It really helped me understand where to put the shading and where to keep it light thank you so much!
I have been drawing for YEARS but it is great to watch you videos, there is always a little something I had forgotten & I now go back & try to bring back into my work...Thank you so much.....Beginners should value your teaching....
I've taught myself to draw when I was 4 (I'm 15) and I mastered strokes, the distance of something, etc. but I still needed a bit help on shadowing and this helped alot
You made my day. I was always looking for a clear explanation of the shading and the terms for it. Thanks a lot. I'll take a premium account soon, as a thanks (well, you deserve it after all).
unbelievably precious material...easy to understand ..super organized ....I'm graduated from fine art faculty never understood this concepts with this ease!!!!
Im so happy i accidentally bumped into your videos. I can only imagine all the random aspiring artists watching your channel and learning. You are a blessing to the world boss!
Proko! I love the way you teach! You got me through some of my hard art classes and have given me the confidence to explore and try more. Do you know anyone who teaches the way you do but for 3D stuff?
Most people, when helping with shading, say "Draw a sun, and do the thing with the light!" and I get really confused because I DO NOT SIT AND STARE AT THE WAY SHADOWS LOOKON PEOPLE WHEN THE SUN SHINES ON THEM
That method helps you remember where the light source is specifically coming from. If it's coming from the top right, do a little sun up there and picture the light hitting down on your figure. When you do your shadows, look at the spot where youre planning to shade and ask yourself, "is the light from my light source hitting this area, or is something impeding it from shining directly here?" A learning artist should always look at references. If you need help for shading, look for images on google and study those. The same with anatomy. Look at shapes. Break down figures and simplify them. It's a long and tedious process, but studying really does pay off. An artist draws with their eyes, not their brain.
I didn't get to go to art school, got accepted but couldn't afford it. I did manage to get a degree in graphic design but still felt like something was missing. Maybe just the experience of it, probably more so the chance to develop my skills and really become an Artist. This tutorial was OUTSTANDING! I am totally re doing my portfolio and this is exactly what I needed to really create a strong professional look to my work. It's going to be tough and take a lot of practice but I believe with your help, I can do it. Thank you!
same here. but I only finished the art fundamentals with honors, then went off to live a terrible experience in animation for around 3/4 of a year, I had trouble with 3 point perspective and my instructor wouldn't help any even though that's what they are there for so I bombed that class.
Make sure you do your research though, cause a lot of schools are teaching more modern art than traditional styles. I went through this and decided to change my major because I felt the assignments were to restrictive. Good luck to you though! :)
I always tend to focus on the darks of an area when I look at a picture for some reason over the light areas. For some reason I never really realized it he mentioned it.
I think the people saying it's difficult aren't really just much used to a whole topic being broken down into small subtopics. I used to get all jumbled and think about the big part itself. But really, Prokos video is really understandable. When I watched this the first time, I was confused as hell too. But now after I've studied anatomy, I learned that everything has smaller parts, and this is just one of those. This was entertaining proko, thank you for making this for us!
This is great, definitely can't blame you for not wanting to release everything for free; everything you post here is so informative so I'm sure the paid content is worth it.
So was I... Then I tried some perspective, more figure drawing, more more figure drawing, switched my head building metod from loomis do eggs, did some more figure drawing, tried to understand shading facial surface.. Not features! Theese I can draw neatly without learning, they just pop into paper from my head. Eyes, lips, noses, you name it, I just draw them without thinking without understanding and with photography quality. Anyways, when I was trying to understand face shading I came back hundred time here and bam... Suddenly all makes sense but it is still so compressed compendium I need some time here... 1 part of knowledge = minimum 50 parts of practice...
I'm starting out and have watched dozens, perhaps hundreds of RUclips videos on painting and sketching, but I have learned more from watching just 2 of yours than all the rest put together. Thank you! Now to watch all your other videos...
I just love you! You are an amazing teacher and funny! I wish only one of the teachers that I had during my artistic high school was as clear, precise and enjoyable as you are. You are refreshing all I forgotten. I'll start linking my drawings soon. THANK YOUUUUU!!!!!
Thank you so much for this thorough breakdown of the components used in shading! This is the clearest explanation I've ever seen, center light finally makes a little bit of sense now. Again, thank you, you're doing really good work here.
Oh, oh! The contrast comparison of something close/faraway from a light source is something I've overlooked! Let alone using it to create a focal point in the drawing. That little bit alone is extreme insightful to me! Thank you!
Hey Stan, I was watching a video by Ron Lemen, and he was saying how most of the time form shadows on a body are convex(they bend toward the light source) because the body is mostly convex. So I asked him why people shade spheres in a concave fashion then(because sphere are the most convex form I can think of), and he said "muscles aren't spheres, muscles are flanks." With that in mind, is it really efficient to map out shadow patterns the same way you would simple geometry, or would it be better just to think about what it is you're actually shading, instead of concepting it into extremely simplified forms?
What do you mean people shade sphere in a concave fashion? Who does that? You can simplify things, but once the simplified version loses the character of the original, you've simplified too much. When I'm mapping in the core shadows I'm considering both, the simple form and the actual form. I then make a decision how I want to design it. Every artist could make a slightly different decision.. That's perfectly fine.
i love your videos! you must spend a good amount of time on them. After years of drawing and painting teachers i FINALLY found a teacher that teaches structure the way you do and it has changed my drawings completely!
I’m good at drawing, but when I draw, my drawings look like messy pencil drawings, and not realistic, cartoonish or clean. It seems impossible to learn how to shade
Beginner: I want to learn how to draw a dog. Proko: We first want to learn the basic shapes, how light works, and the different planes as well as secondary/tertiary forms Beginner:....Dude, I want to learn how to draw a dog, not learn science.
@Proko I've learned that the closer the object is to the other, the sharper the edge of the cast shadow will be, depending on the intensity of the light and how close the light is to the objects. Also the cast shadow's darkness is dependant on this.

I learnt more from you in these few minutes than I did in a year at art school. No kidding. Thank you so much.
I think the problem is ALOT of art teachers don't even have the skills themselves, and can't teach this stuff, it's like the blind leading the blind

Hi
Mine too
I'm an art major, and I learned more about how to handle shading in these few minutes than I ever did in 2 semesters worth of school.
Bryan Holguin me too
spent 4 years in art school and have learned more from Proko than in school.

imagine studying for art degree 😂😂😂
That may be a sign you need to go to a different school.
