How to Draw and Shade with Pencils

Shading with pencils is a lot of fun and once you get the hang of it isn't as hard as it looks. In this video we talk about drawing with a pencil, different types and lead hardness and how to get a nice pencil gradient when shading.

Genuine tip: use the time between uploads to practice previous lessons. Brad's got a life, y'all. You can't just demand a new video from him.

The fact that you're putting hard work into a 2nd channel, writing a script for the video and animating just to make it more fun to learn, this is just wholesome dude, a great act of kindness, thank you for being a good human being

What is this place? Oh, I fell in the "productivity and skills" side of YouTube. This video makes more sense than school. Thank you, Mr. Brad. You're a good man.

I used to always think I could never draw and any time I tried to do so, it just looked like garbage. Thanks to your videos, I finally got a good foundation to build upon and I now have a sketchbook filling up with images that I look at and can’t believe they were drawn by me. I am still learning and just wanted to say thank you for giving me the tools to develop this new hobby. Your teaching style is highly effective, entertaining and comprehensive to me.

I recently retired and asked for drawing pencils for a gift. Now that I have found you, it is fun to learn. I appreciate your easy approach.

I think a lot of people would love how to understand light source in complex drawing and how to place the shade in them. Awesome videos!

The most talented teacher I ever know is Brad

My absolute favorite part of this is when you do the backgrounds.
I often felt ashamed and frustrated when doing background or maybe just filling something big in the same shade and the lines are visible and I'd end up comparing my progress to the "smoothness" of others or how the lines look almost invisible while mine looks like a hut weaving pattern but seeing you just go for it really helps boost the confidence.

Hii Brad . Writing this just to tell you to keep taking our art classes and thank you for this one .

[imarandomgamer]

This channel has taught me something than my art teacher in school, all he does is show us a picture and tells us to draw it, next week he forgets about it. . .

[pjawoken]

Wow, this video came at the perfect time. I just got to the point where my drawing actually started to look like drawings and i needed that something extra to make them pop. Thanx a lot!!!

[aadyasinha]

Finally I'm on time for once!
Thankyou for your art lessons. They help a lot of us gain confidence in expressing ourselves on paper. Thanks
