    Shading helps create more realistic-looking drawings and sketches by revealing the shadow and light of any given scene. For shading, we must understand and observe what we are seeing and turn it into a black and white image in a drawing. Interpreting the scene's light and shadow into different values. It helps to first simplify this process by separating shadow from light. And then move into middle-grey values.

    Dude you have no idea how so so grateful I am to have come across your channel.
    I use to like drawing back in my early school years (I'm now in my 20's) but I stopped because I was really bad at it and I'd see other students' artwork and feel intimidated. I ultimately just came to the conclusion that I wasn't "born" to draw lol, silly me.
    I wished right now the present me could go back in time and just slap some common sense into the young naive me 😂 I realize now that practice and patience is absolute key! things don't just happen overnight. I hear/d it all the time, if you like, love, and or want something, you need to put in WORK to achieve.
    After watching your first 2 videos of this series, and now I'm here 💁 I'm more motivated than ever to get back into drawing and hopefully I'll become as good as you one day 😊 Thank you so much dude!!!

    I've been drawing occasionally for years now, just basically looking at something and drawing whatever it was, I randomly shaded for the sake of giving it an effect. I look back at them after this video and realized I had about 40 different light sources lol. I picked up a pencil and was almost amazed at the clarity I had of light and its importance. So thanks, never thought I would get any further and I automatically got better after a 15 minute video.

    @JayArr96 4 года назад +1

    Man, I like how chill you are in your videos. I’m hoping watching these can help me stay motivated to draw because right now, it’s hard for me. Every now and then, I’ll sit down for hours and just draw a single drawing. The last one was a drawing of Goku, and it took me about 8hrs. Every drawing I start strong. I sketch it out going off a reference photo and I love it. It looks pretty good. I ink it and then I color it and it comes out looking nothing like what I thought it would. Now, I’ll try drawing simple stuff that pops up in my head and I can’t even do that. If anything, it feels like my skills are regressing. I get so demotivated and put my pencil down for long periods of time and refuse to pick it back up because I know anything I draw won’t even be close to what I want. I know I can do it. I can see it in my head and I know exactly what to do but when it comes to making my pencil do it, I can’t. It’s been almost two years since I’ve drawn and it makes me sad. I just want to be good but I can’t get over my own fear of failure. I’ve been planning out this manga story I want to do since I was 18. This story is my dream and I know it will do well if I can just get it out there but I can’t do that unless I get good enough to draw for it. Part of me feels like my dream will just die and I’ll never get good enough no matter how hard I try. I’m sorry, I know this is a long tangent that goes in like 50 different directions and nobody will probably even read it but I have nobody to talk to about it. My only friend that draws is a “professional artist” who does digital design and makes drawings for commission and basically just brags about how good his art is and how it’s better than mine. It’s 5am, I’m exhausted but I can’t sleep because my brain just decided to let me sit and think about how I’ll probably never succeed so that’s fun. Anyways, I’ll shut up now. Thank you for the video, once again. You’re being very generous with your time teaching this skill to others. I hope they can pick it up easier than I can and I hope you succeed in all your endeavors.

Im gonna spend the next few days trying to perfect the subjects of this and the video before.

      +SchaeferArt Do you believe in talent? Do you believe that if somebody is "talented" and they never draw whenever they decide to pick up a pencil is gonna be easier than someone who does it everyday?Who would end up better? I really wanna get into digital concept art but I don't see myself drawing those backgrounds,but ill keep trying none theless

    • @Chris-gy3eh
      @Chris-gy3eh 8 лет назад +9

      +winterhell2002 nah, being good at something is all about the structure of parts of your brain, if your brain is already closer to the ideal structure for a skill, then you have a 'talent'. So from the start, people can be better. However, just about everyone can do it, it just takes more work for some people. Unfortunately, I'm one of those people.

    • @SoulGuitarMetal
      @SoulGuitarMetal 8 лет назад +2

      +Chris McQueen Finally someone reasonable about "talent" and how skill learning works. Hard to find. However I don't see it as like someone brain structure is better for a skill in general. In some point, different people will realize different things more easier. A few will learn (or realize by itself) shading concepts more easier while others gesture, color, composition, environment, human drawing, etc. It's not a matter of having "talent" but of which 10% of a skill will come naturally to you.

Only drawing I ever did that was halfway decent was when I was in a Junior High art class. My mom framed it and kept it hanging on her wall for 37 years until she passed. A flood a couple years ago destroyed that drawing. Don't know why I picked up a sketch book at the hobby store, but thank to your videos, I'm now drawing. 😊
