[@misterNicarus]

@@ArtofWeiHo You're welcome Wei, keep up the excellent work. I'm trying to learn. It's too bad we didn't have instructors like you in school, they even replaced our art class with a guy that used a program to teach us to construct basic carpentry shapes and things. It was a real downer, they could have at least taught us drafting or actual carpentry(digital or physical). I don't mean to have long replies, I just really like this work. I'm going to try to start taking an hour a day toward self improvement.

For now, I’m just going to practice my spheres and then move on to doing the rest of the stuff, maybe even work on my circles a bit more. I’m doing this because I’m learning how to use my shoulder and elbow to draw.... which I’m having trouble with. Let me know if that’s a good start or if I should do other stuff to practice that will help me out in shading or just drawing in general.

[@shadeofmind]

thank you! what type of pencil is that, it has metal on the end?

[@ArtofWeiHo]

+shadeofmind That's the pencil extension. It's used when the pencil becomes too short.

What pencil do u use

[@janesjunk9]

Hi Wei. Would you sketch a paper straw wrapper which has been torn and folded maybe 3 times. My friends and I tried it and need some guidance.

[@janesjunk9]

And create a video so we can learn from it, of course. 😁

[@ArtofWeiHo]

We were trying to learn to shade on our own. What would you recommend?

[@kaytie_art]

thankyou m8! it helps so much! now i can draw 3d spheres!

I never thought that lighting a sphere could be done with a technical approach rather than eyeballing it. Thanks Wei, this helps a lot.

+81Shotty Yeah, it's not exact but it offers a good framework to work from.

thx bro

[@princealmighty5391]

hey man thanks for the video I struggle with drawning alot but the teacher said if u want to go into to Game design I need to become better can you tell me what u meant by the terminator is it like the dot where you draw the line

[@princealmighty5391]

like the dot is the same distance away from the centre as it is from the highlight

[@princealmighty5391]

Sorry asked that too soon

[@princealmighty5391]

but is the point you draw from the centre to indicate the highlights and point you draw from centre to Indicate the shadows are the same distance away from the centre or away from circle edge as it doesn't quite look like they are sorry I'm not saying you are wrong but having hard time understanding that part
