Skin Shading - SIMPLIFIED

  • Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
  • A question I get asked often is: sure you sketch well Josh, but how do you shade the skin? I've had alot of practice shading skin since I used to do traditional pencil portraits for fun as a teen. Now I want to break down what I have learned into a few simple steps!
    In this video, I sit down with you and explain every stroke that I make in order to shade this face. I explain the different choices I make since the model has darker skin tone, and go over everything in a way that can apply to both digital and traditional art!
    So get your sketchbooks or tablets and give it a try yourself!

      If You are beginner don't spend your precious time on such movies. Just draw. ON PAPER. as big as You can. 100x70cm? Yes. Members of Your family, guy, from tv news on screen./fast sketching/ observe people, animals. everything.
      Observation is a key to success in drawing and practice. On YT there is a lot of harmful tutorial about drawing. Unfortunately tablets and drawing apps gives You unlimited option but also spoil your mind.

      @RAI-diate 3 года назад +6

      @@msStoDwa It doesn't really matter whether you start digitally or traditionally, the only difference is that, as you stated, you have unilmited acess to alot more. Its just a different medium and shouldn't stump your growth. There's not one way to begin doing art and you shouldn't tell people otherwise.

    Hey Josh- after deciding to finally learn shading faces and move beyond 2d cartoon sketches, I chose this video as a guide and quite frankly I’m amazed at how things started to click into place. it’s far from polished but a huge huge step forward. The “John Madden” overlays (pink and green diagrams) of the shadows and lighted areas were extremely helpful. I greatly appreciate the wealth of knowledge you’ve shared-thank you!

    I’d consider myself a very well rounded artist when I comes to pencil and paper. Unfortunately it becomes cumbersome these days to motivate myself to pull out the sketchbook and the case carrying my various mechanical pencils. I’ve since purchased and am now awaiting my 12.9 iPad Pro, which would provide much easier access to everything with two simple items. I’ve loved digital art since childhood, even dabbled a lot with photoshop; however, I know the experience will be enhanced ten fold on my new setup.
    I mention all that to say, while waiting for my investment to find its way to my house, I’ve been binge watching your videos to watch a professional digital artist at work. You’ve inspired me to dig deeper into realistic works, and even more so colorful work, as I tend to lean more towards simple graphite shading. Thank you, you’ve earned yourself a new subscriber and I look forward to more work, and more importantly more knowledge. ✊🏾

But the way you just explained this, it really resonated with me! I love your layout, love your voice, love your art. Amazing! Thank you so much.

    @Artsy444 4 года назад

    you are so very good at explaining things, and making things clearer. I just discovered that I kind of naturally do this type of shading already when doing digital portraits, however I just never knew how to do it technically, and neatly, I just tried to pick up what i learnt from timelapse drawings on the internet and practice myself. I've been out of practice of drawing for so long though that I feel I can't do it anymore, especially in procreate but your videos are helping me gain that bit of confidence again thank you

    • @stevenwitcher8087
      @stevenwitcher8087 4 года назад +2

      Fun tip, if you just use a flat tone like beige or brown, then apply exactly what he does with gray and white, you'll be 90% there. Add some highlights in the transition areas (yellows, browns, or even pinks) and you'll have a great piece.

    you should try clipping masks - just fill your layer (linework) and make the above layers clipping masks - that saves you the work of erasing around your artwork - you could also use the smear finger to create something crazy from it :D reeaaaly enjoy your video right here man!
