Once again, a debt of gratitude. I’m totally self taught and must rely on scavenging for information as specific and clearly stated as this video is. Thank you so much. I’ve been pondering this question of edges (and consequently confounded drawing them) for over a year now. I’m aware that there’s much more subtle complexity to this but you can’t imagine how this video cleared my foggy brain on this topic. Many thanks.

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Stoked to help you out 🤘👍

I was about to say the same. I always found shading the hardest thing to learn but understanding different edge types has given me exactly what I wasn't getting! It's funny how sometimes we just need it explained in a different way.

[@jasonshields6479]

Excellent advice

[@MarkDavidTeo]

Great video Stephen! Honestly, you're on of the best teachers out there. Always so clearly defined and setting good boundaries for us to work with. Thanks!

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Thanks, Mark!

The discussion regarding edges in the context of a form mode of representation is intriguing. In the realm of painting, we can also explore edges based on their visual quality, such as hard, soft, and lost edges. While these qualities often arise from the form mode, they can also manifest in other modes of representation, such as shape-value-color or line, where the form is less pronounced, as in silhouettes or flat lighting situations.

Very good

[@user-mv1oi2or2m]

I absolutely admire you. I hope to be your exact example in drawing

[@proriderNinjahattori]

🙏 thank you

[@k_drawing]

I think edges are very important especially in finding and describing details. I think It is very helpful for people who want to make their work more accomplished :) thank you for your good lecture!!

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Glad it was helpful!

[@colofulartsit8674]

Omg great video!

[@asmodevsluxuria]

One of your best videos so far. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Glad you liked it!

In short we have to draw taking the nature of edge in mind ❤
I think doing drapery can improve my edges ✌️

[@shaquille.oatmeal885]

i really want more videos on this pls

[@visitor-05]

Your edge work, particularly when the form that's lit is contrasting with the dark background, has this delicate quality (don't know how else to describe it) that is really pleasing. Recently learned about chiaroscuro, hoping I could learn something to then be able to recreate the same effect.

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

It’s all about squinting down and matching the effect 😉

Great video! Thanks for sharing this clip on your channel.

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Thanks for watching!

[@davidcapes9629]

Just FYI, the parts where you wrote with red over the top of darker areas was quite challenging to see for the color blind viewers. Very cool presentation of the topic overall

[@larryconkoljr.8915]

Well said.

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Thanks!

[@jeffhreid]

Interesting video Stephen. I think something similar for line would also be interesting.

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Absolutely

[@sapianolessons]

Is shadow edge the same as a core shadow?

[@chithrapk2188]

Hi

[@idkwhathomestuckisijustlik3439]

Why did I assume this would be about the hair edges...

[@DazzlingAction]

I feel like there is more to edges then this...

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Sure- what have you got in mind?

[@DazzlingAction]

@@stephenbaumanartworkLike how they Interact with different shapes and softness of the edges.

[@ROOSON1]

what about the edges of eggs, that's one more type right there Stephen

[@notnavlookaway]

Id highly appreciate if you dwelled into digital art!!

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Hmmm… would you like to see the art part, the teaching part, or the teaching about the software part?

[@checkurs675]

@@stephenbaumanartwork teaching part, like demo

[@notnavlookaway]

@@stephenbaumanartwork each and every part would be precious and teach something that I might not know. I do not know any other creator that can teach in the way you do. The inherent problem for me with digital art is not being able to sketch an eye like you would traditionally from blending graphite to controlling pencils.
A form of realism in digital, that isnt hyperrealistic. Basically, how to be like Sargent if he was given a wacom and photoshop.
