Mastering Shading: How To Get A Realistic Effect With Graphite Pencils

If you want to improve your shading, this class is for you! I’ll show you the steps to build a sense of 3D form using graphite pencils.

I’ve provided a traceable template for this class which means that even if you are not yet confident with drawing, you can trace the subject and still have a go at the shading part of the class.

You’ll learn:

• how to use the grid method
• how to identify and compare values
• how to shade in layers
• how to use contrast to enhance depth

Shading takes patience and I encourage you to take your time and take plenty of breaks rather than rushing. But if you’re ready for a challenge and want to take your pencil shading to the next level, grab your pencils and let’s get started!
