Secrets of Shading- Free Preview Chapter

[oloneyzzz]

I click on the gumroad link thinking the course was like 120 dollars or something, it's only 15. Zapata is not only a blessing for the mind but a blessing for the wallet.

The youtube algorithm has blessed me with a treasure

This is literally how I teach my drawing classes. I have never seen anyone else explain it this way also. Well done.

The exercise certainly has a nice ring to it. Really flows of the tongue

You can tell not just from the shading but from the writing notes and visuals this guy is a true draftsman

Me: I've been a good boy?

Youtube algorithm: No... You've been a great boy

I've only seen the two first parts of the tutorial (and this free chapter) for the moment, and even if it's not the first tutorial on shading I've seen, it's already worth it! Thanks a lot for this :)

Woah. I used to love to draw like this. At some point, I convinced myself detailed drawing wasn’t for me. The problem, I see now, was lack of detailed instruction. The results I received from this instructional make me love graphite drawing again. I will surely check out the whole series. Thanks Zapata Art!

I was a tattoo artist and hatching is how I achieved shading. I would use a mag needle (has its needles in straight lines and the amount of needles would depend on how large the shadow was). It created great graduations when used with different pressures. There were different inks (gray scales and black ink) that created realistic shadows. The depth of shadow was created from pressure used with the needles or motion of the hand (flicking the gun). Sorry.. just reminded me of tattooing. I miss it, but I can’t do them anymore due to arthritis. 😢 wish I could though. Nothing better than seeing my finished tattoos and the look of satisfaction on my clients.

'Back and forth with this stuff' really sums it up

[evahovelsrd]

You explain things really well. Most of the time I find this type of video very blah blah with too many expert words. Thank you for keeping it real.

This guy can draw good and speak good at the same time.

I appreciate your dedication to the minutia of the process. Drawing as a continually mindful process is so important. Drawing is all about mindful attention, and you have balancwd this with an obvious joy and satisfaction.

this definitely made me appreciate how much of a time-save, digital drawing is

People! Buy this tutorial! It’s so good! I’ve been looking for something like this for a while. And great value for money.

[sentiments]

found this channel literally a night ago because i made a promise to myself that im going to put in the effort to actually improve my talents and acknowledge my interests. So thankful i stayed in yt for 30 more minutes past my bed time or else i wouldnt have found this channel. Zapata's gonna make me draw like a beast, watch.

This is the type of content I’ve been searching for! I’ve really been having a hard time wrapping my mind around shading and this is helping so much, you’ve earned a subscriber and I will be purchasing the course!
