Ok...I think this is for sure one of the first videos i would show someone when they ask "what is shading and how to understand it?"... Thank you this helped me alot and good job,keep up the great job dude
The thing I struggle with shading is knowing where to shade, like say I'm shading a complex object, it's like a guessing game to know where the light and shadows go.
Imagine a light source somewhere on your page. Try and work out which surfaces of your shape catch most of the light, and which hardly see any of it. The third surface should be between the others in tone. Have you seen my video called ‘how to sketch cast shadows’?
Hi Product Designer Maker ~ You are a great teacher with immense generosity to share these wonderful lessons here on TH-cam. Wishing you all the best from a pioner D&T teacher in Singapore.
When hatching you are drawing one continues line in both directions? It looks so effortlesely in your video, but it is really hard to keep the spacing consistent and go exactly from edge to edge without being too short or overlap. I guess that its just practice practice practice. It looks very fluid and I think you are the only one I saw talking about being unconstricted and develop the ideas freely, you are a true designer...
Petr Novotný thank you, that’s very kind. Try getting your hand/arm positioned so that there will be nothing restricting its movement at any point whilst shading. Yes, I’m drawing a continuous line. Practice is important, but so too is being relaxed. Try and relax and don’t worry about it looking wonderful. It’ll get better quickly.
Happy to see that I am on the right way with shadows.... I must try to practice it with Bic pen instead black pencil. I have worked on the different intensity in black values a few days ago, and your video is really helpful on it. Thank you for this very interesting as usually video. Have a nice Sunday! 😊
Shine Luck thank you. I try and draw as much as I can from my shoulder but this isn’t always possible. Where not, I’d try and draw from my elbow. I will rarely resort to drawing about my wrist. I hope this answers your question.
so glad i finally found your channel. im curious what industry your currently working in, cuz your designs feel so life like. wondering if drawing designs over and over can help me do that as well and if it applies to any industry.
Kreative Chaos Guides thank you very much. Mostly I’m a teacher. I would say that the skills are definitely transferable and that there’s no substitute for practice. I have improved my ability to communicate through my design work by actually using sketching to help me to explain myself to my students.
Chan elvis thanks for the suggestion. I’m planning to do this, but it’s quite a big project to undertake, so there will be more videos before that hits the airwaves! Thanks for your interest!!
Thank you Rowan! Very much appreciate the feedback. The cast shadow video sounds like a good idea. I've got a couple of ideas to get done first, but I'll move on to that soon.
ged martin very kind, thanks. I’m locking my wrist and pivoting from my shoulder, but my elbow pivots in conjunction with my shoulder. I’m trying to limit the amount my elbow pivots. I’m planning to release the video in the next two or three weeks on this, all being well.
@@productdesignermaker Ah amazing and thanks so much for the quick reply! That would be great if you did. Keep up the good work, all of these videos are incredibly useful.
Great video. I’m so excited for the next ones. Oh and is there a trick as to how not to miss up the paper with ink while sketching or you’re cautious while drawing ?! Many thanks.
Thank you Bacel! Much appreciated. I'd say choose your pen carefully. The Staedler biro I used in this video doesn't smudge. Also if you can broadly work from the top left of the page towards the bottom right (if you're right handed), then your hand won't tend to go over the work you have already produced. This method of layout also tends to tell it's own story to the person reading the page; it's easier to follow. If your pen smudges, use a small piece of scrap paper underneath your hand.
Mateo Sturla thank you. I’m using biro here. I’d strongly recommend a Staedtler Stick 430M. It’s a beautifully balanced pen which allows for great control. Very reasonably priced too!
MR PEEVES absolutely not. I’ve noticed it with other biros, yes, but this particular type is great. It performs at its best when it’s in regular use. If you leave it unused for a while, it tends to need ‘running in’ for a few minutes.
Hey I have to draw a product by taking only one fruit just like a product designing and the product should look like it is actually made by a fruit so any idea???...plzz reply
Thanks for getting in touch. I'm not really focused upon car design I'm afraid. I'm more about product design. I'll definitely be producing more videos on shading techniques, and also, on how to sketch materials such as metals etc. I hope they will be of use to you.
Ohhh te quedo exelente! Yo estoy practicando anatomía, y bueno las posiciones del cuerpo, las sombras y ángulos son lo que tengo que mejorar, tu video me va a ayudar Lastima que no entiendo nada de lo que dices :c por el hecho de no saber ingles TwT Muchas gracias!!!!
how the hell are you drawing such perfect straight line that too with a pen when I draw with pencil I have to redraw my drawings 4-5 times then I get perfectly straight lines, but still not perfect as yours many times I overdo the lines
I’ve noticed that most product designers I see on this platform uses a pen for sketching and shading instead of a mechanical pencil or any other pencil. Just curious to know why that is🤔
mujeex miniminer definitely good to be able to pick up any instrument and start sketching, so it’s worth practising with a range of equipment. To answer your question, using a pen keeps the designer honest and encourages him/her to work quickly. With a pencil, there’s always the option to rub out mistakes. If I know I can rub out my work, I will start to tighten up and work carefully.... when it’s not perfect, I will rub it out and have another go. With this interruption, my train of thought will suffer. With experience and confidence, pen will encourage me to work more loosely and creatively. I hope this makes sense.

This was by far the most useful shading tutorial I've come across. Thanks for keeping it so brief and clear!
Arvind Ravi thank you thank you!
I'm an industrial design student, thanks for the guided sketching it really helps.
Glad it was helpful!
One of the best video on product design sketch. Everyone else is so much focused on photorealistic marker renders. This is much more useful.
Shayar Salim Really do appreciate this, thank you!
Your voice is so entrancing that I'm not even sure you need music. But maybe it adds flavor. Idk, just a thought. Love these lessons. Thank you

Great video, may i ask what pen you are using? the color seems to be more of a navy blue than the average blue you get in normal pens
Thank you. There’s a link in the description below the video to the pen. It’s actually a black biro rather than blue. Hope this helps.
These are fantastic! Please keep them coming 😊 (Any chance you could do a video on cast shadows?)
