How to Shade with a Pencil ✏️

When shading with a pencil, there's no ONE right way to do it.
Sometimes, you want to make something scratchier and others you want something smooth. It's most important to practice and learn how to use the tools you have!

I never thought of it that way very informative thanks!

[@cat-aquarium]

I personally think the texture showing through gives it a nice distinctive feel :-]

[@ProkoTV]

Yeah! It's up to you if that's something you want in a piece. We only ever want to help people be able to create with intention. Textured when they want or smooth when they want.

I gotta tell this now
YOU ARE THE BEST 👌

Great tutorial

[@thanhnguyenhouc1106]

Emanuele Dascanio uses almost just graphite pencil render to such nice and smooth tone like this video. Which is so fascinating.

[@flyingteacup8369]

Thank you for the advice

[@Im.Dux.]

Thanks I was making book marks and this was really cool

[@tadul5]

In my opinion the best for blending are cotton pads, paper towels and toilet paper ☺️☺️☺️. This stick thingy rather sucks 😅

[@DylanMitchell-ws6ej]

Very informative 😮

[@alenwatson3430]

Pleeease make a charcoal guide video 🙏🙏

[@ProkoTV]

We have a bunch on the channel! We can't share links in Shorts comments but come to the channel and search "charcoal". You'll find a bunch!

[@mehrabahmedhasam5998]

In which part he talk about this on the course? Can you guys please share the video title? I'm unable to find it on the basic drawing course.

[@ProkoTV]

This is from the "Ultimate Guide to Pencils and Erasers".
It starts off with Stan talking about different types of pencils and then he shows off the strengths of each type, contrasting when and why you might choose one over another.

[@mehrabahmedhasam5998]

@@ProkoTV Thanka.I have another queation. can you guys tell on which video proko briefly talked about the values and how to apply them ?

[@ProkoTV]

​@@mehrabahmedhasam5998 We talk about that a lot but the first one for Drawing Basics is probably around the first project of the course simplifying the pear and the portrait.

Can u pls do one with pen? Like a ballpoint pen 😃🙏

[@ProkoTV]

Ballpoint pen is always a single point. There's, unfortunately, no way to turn it on it's side and get a soft gradient.
But in our recent video with Rembert Montald, he talked about smudging his ballpoint pen sketches with a little spit on his finger when he's n the go. You can do that like he does to get a little more of the "blended" look. Or just draw over it more and more so the gaps fill in.

[@katzuoii1056]

@@ProkoTV Wow thank you for replying so far. I will defo watch that vid then! 😁

[@Dy1an-f8c]

Maybe cross hatching
