Shading | 3 Tips on How to Shade!

[@_Aiko.]

Hey, I have my art high school entrance exam tomorrow. I watched many videos of others drawing still life and learning the shades and tones as much as I could, even after 4 years of learning art in middle school. This art high school will pick out 16 students based on the exam, to teach them further. If I get into this high school, I will be extremely happy, and I am confident I will.. I know I can do it. I will be moving out and living with my brother in college in another city where this school is. Please guys, wish me the biggest luck on the exam, and thank you Jess and many others for helping me learn more and improving me. I promise, I will make it!

This single video in itself is so informative, as a beginner it helps me a lot cause often times when I sit down to practice my shading skills I really don't know HOW to practice. This helps a lot. Thanks a ton.

Thank you! I'm currently swatching color pencils and though I've already set up a layout I like, it was only going to be for the darkest and lightest, but this gave me the idea of how to do it to have the 8 in between for each. So awesome!

She : practicing is extremely crucial Me : can't we learn it in just one chance

[@frumpleskilstonanimations2409]

Changing the distance I hold my pencil from the tip changes a lot, shading is hard for me because I always hold my pencil too close to the tip, this has been very helpful, you’ve got a like!

The best shading tutorial of the three main shapes of drawing Ever in youtube!!!, Thanks for sharing!!!

[@Kamsi-g3t]

Thanks a lot. With your teaching I was able to do some realistic shading for the first time.

[@allanfink7816]

Cool video. As with many aspects of art, I was taught totally backwards concepts than you teach. For example when doing gray scales I was taught to always use an odd number of steps, so the middle step is halfway between the darkest dark and lightest light for the medium you are drawing with. Each step had to be EVENLY spaced steps, which is a huge challenge. We would do scales in each grade of pencil, from 9h to 9B, to explore the range of each, then do a scale by layering all the hardness grades from 9h to 9b. I was also taught to keep the pencils VERY sharp -- sharp enough to hurt if you poke yourself with them -- and use firm confident strokes when hatching and cross hatching and rely more on the hardness of the graphite as well as the pressure on the pencil point. We avoided smearing and using stumps and smidging. I found once I learned to draw that way, pencil drawings come out cleaner and sharper looking. Art is always subjective, and several ways to do everything.

[@kylanochite8059]

awiee thank you for this video! a graphic tech.student here,this vlog will help me huhu #veryhelpful

[@d8nya1]

Hopefully you see this to answer. In regards to shading the background do you go dark then light as you get further away from the subject which makes it pop? Cause sometimes I jsut shade and I don’t really see a huge difference in mine. But yours is so good

[@artofjesskarp]

Yes, the darker values you place next to lighter values will create a higher contrast and make them pop!

[@aydinbekoglu]

I have no talent in drawing. I'm trying to learn making portraits for therapy. Because I can't draw, I bought a light pad so that I can trace the outlines and shade afterwards. This way at least I can learn to shade and have a finished picture more ore less like the reference! I will try to learn from your videos. Thank you!

[@richardmeftah2569]

Thanks Jess. I've only very recently started learning to draw and paint and I absolutely love it! Your tips on shading-practice as a warm up for my drawing have really improved my work. Thanks a lot!

[@leojames7331]

Hey, thanks for this. I'm a total noob right now and I bought a set. Aren't I supposed to use different weighted pencils depending on the value? I notice you're getting light and dark all with one pencil.

[@artofjesskarp]

You’re welcome! - technically yes - but it’s great to practice with one 2B or HB to really feel and practice the pressure as a beginner. You really only need one pencil.

@Prakriti Prakriti Hey, I'm not Jess but I will suggest some of the fundamentals of art you should learn to improve: -Anatomy & Proportions -Shapes -Values -Perspective -Color & Light -Composition Or you can watch Proko's channel and Mohammed Agbadi's "Bring Your Drawings to Life" video. Hope this helps!

Hi , I loved it thank u soo much for this tips ❤❤❤😘🥀🥰🥰 loved it

[@gazmach1685]

This is a video of what it should look like, not how to do it, that’s one of the problems with KZbin tutorials, youtubers just repeat each other like a different voice is going to make a difference, there’s nothing uniquely helpful. This is one of the better tutorials though so cudos for this.

[@Yosoydom]

Lol if you didn’t learn HOW to shade from this video than maybe you’re beyond teaching. you just don’t understand shading. And that’s okay. but don’t be mad at her that you didn’t learn how to do something while she literally showed us step by step how she shades and how she figured out her reference points

[@gazmach1685]

Well to twist that, you got "I didn’t learn how to shade" from "the problem is youtubers just copy each other" ? ....... I think it’s you who is beyond help, I even gave her Cudos for the way she did it, I can already shade, I’m checking other peoples work as any good artist would 😂🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ next time you feel like Simping, at least read the comment and try to make sense 👍🏻

[@Lighthouseman34]

Hey Jess I’m confused you said you shared in one direction but towards the end on the cube drawing you said you use cross hatching are you still shading in one direction or going a completely different direction?
