This is exactly what I needed. I just couldn't understand the basic concept of getting shading started. I used shading in life drawing, but was too afraid to put deep shadows just putting in enough to show it exists.
I do well with objects in front of me... not afraid of using darkest colors to render in my pastel paintings, but trying to get my very active imagination placed down onto paper has been frustrating. This is precisely the sketch challenge I have been planning, but now do not need to reinvent the wheel, but can take it far and fast with his help! Thank you very much!
This is fantastic and extremely useful. The mistake you pointed out at 6:00 has me written all over it! Thank you for breaking it down and explaining it so clearly.
Such an amazing tutorial! I have been searching stuff for shading but this was the video that actually helped me understand and told me things other tutorials didn't lol. Thank you so much for this
4:40 When he changed the lightbulb into a sun, I suddenly saw the organic plane as a desert plane. So even context can change the read of an image a lot...
I mostly work from my imagination, yes we see a human form(usually taken from my own body, sadly, I am very petite/tiny, I always wanted to be shapely)which in my case I always exaggerate when I draw/paint. I am sure the muscles illustrated on super hero's was done with the same thoughts in mind. WINK WINK. I do often question my shadows and this video (even though I've been drawing and painting over 40 years) Is very helpful and makes you thoughtfully think about that shadow placement! Thank you so much.

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much!! :)
This an excellent explanation of shadows. You can use it for painting too.
Also, you can use this for realism.
More Advanced Creative Light and Shadow theory practice, cool. Good job. You might want to rethink the "meat spear" thing though. Just a thought.
Steven is the best !!!
thanks always for the blessings proko
Thanks practice is key for flow energy and focus inspiration for art schools
Unusual artist and unusual teacher, that was kinda strange experience, but it makes sense in the end! Thank you for the sample :).

Those "abstract flesh clusters" look like a turd travelling a near light speed. Love it!
That video helped me so much
awesome lesson
I am a beginner and want to learn from you. Should I learn from your TH-cam videos, or buy your courses? What's the difference? Thanks.
Check out the courses, my TH-cam is mostly art shop-talk and arm chair philosophy.
Hey, present!
Thank you!
proko needs to practice these himself
lmaoooo
Yoooo Steven!
What is the pencil and the paper you are using here?
When he drew that 2nd shape my dirty mind said giggity
YES WOOHOOO YEAHYEAHYEAHYEAH WOOOOOOOO ZAPATA WOOOOOOO LEGENDARRRRRRRRRRRY WOOOO COMMENT INTERACTION TO BOOST VIDEO IN SEARCH RESULTS WOOOOOOOO HOO YEAHYEAHYEAH
17:45 I use toilet paper when I want to keep the shapes, extremely soft and subtle.
EXCELLENT!!!!!♡♡♡♡♡
What pencil are you using?
Han har veldig fine hender ✋🏾🤚🏾
The starting sketch gave me poop log vibes, then shading turned them antigravity lol
How does this course compare to "Form from Imagination"?
enable subtitles please
Amazing! Does the tentacle remind anyone of Mr. something from South Park?
yesss
Yes.
cool.
Oh Steven and his Trojan horse schemes. "Lets draw blobs." And by the end you know how to shade muscles.
I use the full darkness of 8B or 9B, How do you deal with the glare created by the soft graphite?
Good
Kneaded erasers get dirty? 😳
Please bring us ALEX ROSS
You should put 3D modeling into your video so for new beginner they can make imagination

This guy repeats himself too much.
Terrible opinion
