This is one of the better instructional drawing videos . No distracting music ! And we get to see the original set up he is drawing from as he draws. This is very important. He explains what he is doing and why. My sole complaint ( that is too harsh a word ) is that when he is shading the egg, he refers to the light reflecting off the table surface onto the egg as a highlight.The highlight strictly speaking, is the spot on the egg that receives the strongest illumination...the spot that appears lightest/brightest to the eye. What he is referring to is called reflected light. This is light that hits a shadowed area and illuminates it.

@PaulPriestleyart

Hi Gerald you are right, it is reflected light, not a highlight, you're the first to spot the slip of the tongue, I'd not realised until I'd uploaded the video, so wasn't going to re-record the commentary then. Paul

Hi, this was really helpful, as I’m trying to get into an advanced art elective next year for school, and I have to put together a portfolio. I do want to ask though, do you recommend blending the shading, just to produce a slightly smoother effect?

@PaulPriestleyart

5 жыл бұрын

That depends. If the object you are drawing has a very smooth surface you might blend the shading to make the shading more subtle. If the object's surface is rough you might want the shading to look more textured, so you probably would not blend. Hope that helps. Good luck with your ambition. Cheers Paul
