The SHADING SECRET That Took My Drawings From NOOB To PRO

In this portrait shading tutorial for beginners, I'm going to show you a secret on how to shade realistic face that most artists don’t share. You’ll be able to apply this when you shade skin tone or any other drawings that require realistic shading.

    @Jason Legendary Art thank you so much for making these video's I started my art journey about three years ago and late in age, graphite shading has always eluded me. And watched so many YT video's on how to shade which added more confusion and crappy results. So I went head first into airbrushing because I love to paint with them. But since coming across your videos it has helped me immensely and I am back into the graphite medium with way better results from your video's! Plus your sense of humor makes people retain a lot more knowledge. Thanks for all you do.

    There are lots of techniques that artist vlogger won't show you... 80% of the artist vlogger who get exactly the same proportion as to the reference is by way of tracing the reference to the drawing paper .. 😂😂😂😂😂 it is cheating.. but who cares as long they can make a content...

    In my way I never trace the reference.. I put my reference to the computer and print it.. on the bond paper that printed my reference I only make two lines, vertical and horizontal and then I used devider proportion to get the exact proportion... I only used gridding method if my drawing is double or triple the size of the reference...

    It's funny, cause there are people who would still call that your method cheating. I would say use whatever means to get the proportions right, whether it's tracing, grid or dots. It's only cheating if you start to lie that you used freehand

    No problem bro, check out maas art on IG, he only uses pencil and I'm jealous of his works. Just get a wide range of pencil, light like 2b, medium like 4b and dark like 7 or 8b. And when shading, build up tones and values gradually. Few months ago I made a tutorial on how to shade with only graphite, you should watch it.

    Yes you can use just pencils but it is good to have a range from at least B to 6B. Anything above a 6B you should you charcoal powder to reduce graphite shine. Charcoal powder is best used for your very darkest tones.
