>>5847485If you still need help i can give you the steps that help me learn shading.Not a master at it.But i can shade with literally just dots or shredded paper. So i definitely know what im doing.
Step 1. Learn limitiations of Pencil pressure( or any medium you choose) by randomly scribbling on your paper.
Step 2.Create a gradient scale with.Fill in each square from light to dark.This will teach yo
control.Do this as many times as you need unti you understand your tool and the amount of pressure required.
step 3.Understand that light pressure is
king.It helps to build up values.Then transition to medium pressure.
Step 4.Undertand that the light controls where the shadow goes not you.But you do control where the light is positoned.
Step 5.Understand that shading/rendering is just a series of transitions from a hard edge to soft edge.Rinse and repeat.
Example: I need to shade a sphere.
Incomplete sphere ---> Seperate lights from darks with a contour line ----> Lay down my first or preferred value ---->That value establishes my first hard edge.
Then from there we blend that hard edge so we can barely see it anymore, and that new value we just layed down creates another hard edge.Rinse and repeat.
Hard > soft > hard > soft > hard > soft > completely rendered sphere.
Once you understand this i promise you if i handed you a bag of skittles you could render a sphere with it just by placing a quantity of them in the correct place.
