This is probably the best explanation for shading I've seen, and it's done in 60 secs

I just want to save this in a playlist, why is YouTube so bad 🤡

[oskartheloner]

THIS. This explained the whole shadow things WAY better than any tutorial/teacher I've ever heard

[robhebbard]

This isn’t sped up guys, it’s just how good he is at shading!

Legit jus helped me improve as an artist with one single clip. Been drawing for years and highlights have always been a struggle of mine but wouldn’t say my biggest tho. Looked at many videos and references over the years and for some reason couldn’t get my head around it…..some ppl jus over complicate things and this dude got me to understand it in less then 60secs

when learning about reflection in optics is actually more useful than I imagined. nice video

Proko, like a god teaching art skills

[caki]

It really takes a whole science class to do art well doesn't it 😭

Finally, some useful tips
most of the time when I ask people about this they just say (the part that faces the light is light but the part that doesn't is shaded) so thank you!

[changemymind]

Perfect explanation and so easy to digest!

[BIGBUCKS_moneh]

Wow i don't even know about the highlight thing 😭 this whole time I thought they were at the centre of the center light

[streetough]

I remember this video and this is why Proko is one of the best in the biz. Seriously

[malikahashami]

Best drawing advices + explanation ever😊😊😊

[NotSoMax]

Honestly that was the best explanation of a highlight I’ve ever heard

[fatitankeris]

In best ways to explain it, you have to think about the optics of light to understand shadow formation, reflection, highlights, etc. The video here explains some of these aspects, like stray light from surroundings, highlight positioning, etc. A good thing to train in mind is the law of reflection and geometry.

OHHH I NEVER GOT HE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIGHLIGHT AND FULL LIGHT.

you are a savior

[mvutali]

Learning so much from just your quick shorts

[furyberserk]

Just realized the core shadow has a gradient based on reflected light giving the greatest light value shift. That and a dim light will likely create a hazy cast shadow as well.

Great short dude ! This explained alot :D

[MaelCott]

The highlight not being in the center of the crnterlight is the most useful tip I've seen in a while
