Learn How To Draw Pt 5: Understand How Shading Works

Without light and shadow there is no form. If you haven't thought about how shading creates 3D form then this lesson is for you. In this easy drawing tutorial for beginners we'll cover shading basics by practicing shading with only three values, highlight, mid-tone and shadow. If you can understand what to look for when you are shading and how light hits an object, you'll be better prepared to build a successful finished drawing.

This free drawing lesson covers:
• how to sketch and shade objects
• how to quickly shade an object
• how light and dark values create a sense of form

This lesson is a really a precursor to learning to shade. We wont be covering blending or layering but instead we'll focus on the bare basic values you need to see and shade to create 3D form.

MATERIALS:
• Sketchbook
• 2H - 2B pencils
• eraser
