Question:

On shading?

well im still on the beginner level of drawing. im working on shading...my teacher said i lack control...some seem to have it naturally...what are some techniques or practices you can suggest?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I'm unsure exactly what area you're weak in shading, but try different approaches.

1. Watch how the natural or artificial light casts shadows of objects and what features are lighter than others.

2. Lacking control or not understanding the science of shade? Every object, ridge, hill, blemish, body, and protuberance creates shadow. Learn to analyze how the dark and the light interact and begin to draw any animate or inanimate object you find that shows shades of light and darkness.

I'm also unsure if the above advice is helpful for you because your problem isn't defined.
