Learn seven different techniques for drawing with graphite pencils. We look at blending, circling, hatching, cross hatching, stippling, rendering, and more in this lesson.

I really like how you outlined your shadows before hatching.

As a beginner, it is really easy to fall into automatic traps. Drawing is a practice that you really do have to use your brain for, and figuring out where you want to place your shadows before actually placing them is one of obvious things which only seem so in hindsight.

Always have liked subtleties like the light reflection onto the bottom of the ball. It's things like that that we miss, which make art look more realistic, but intimidating to try ourselves. It's all practice and learning and almost anyone can do it if they want to.

[massimorosiello]

q tips are amazing if you don't have a blender, I have used them for various shadings where I want a smooth less patchy kind of artwork and they work miricles

After all of these years I have never found an as good tutorial for shading, now I just need to understand the workflow and where to start in an image and end in an image to adjust

Great video, most people don't even think of this before going into drawing.

[joshuahalim]

Great video! Thank you for sharing your time and talent for those of us who want to learn but can't afford traditional instruction.

Great video. First to need to scetch the correct forms, gestures, proportions. Without these, our work will go to bad. Only the next step is the shadowing. Generally I use the blending method, because it's will give a very smooth transitions. Need to repeat a few times till I gain right values. In the next step, I start to work on texture of the surface. Finally I need to correct some values: Darkening in the deep shadows or add some higlights etc

Thank you very much indeed for all of your art in all ways !!! you are great!!!

[lizcharles]

I am so in love with your accent. And you're a great art teacher 😊

[jaffasholva]

I've been told all my life not to use the eraser and don't blend etc. I've always felt like i couldn't really draw, but somehow pretended or something. Now i'm at a point where my drawings are reaching photo realism and i'm very glad i stuck to my bad drawing manners. Never let anyone tell you what is the right way and use what ever you want. I blend with qtips and toiletpaper. The eraser is my best friend lol
