I’m trying to get back into drawing after not doing it for years. Instead of just grabbing a pad & trying to draw, I’m looking to build up better fundamentals than I did years ago. This was really helpful!
well yea if you learn new fundamentals your art will improve lol had me worried thinking you already knew everything haha happy accidents like the afro dude says
Hows it going? Did you start back? I just did. Completed a pet portrait for a friend. I posted it to facebook, and i got 3 commisions! Im used to doing human portraits, but apparently now im a pet drawer lol. I love brushing up on fundamentals. No matter how good you are, can always learn something new. This guy knows his stuff!
Excellent video. **You get right to it without subjecting us to your life story**You explain the process in a concise, easy-to-internalize manner**You don’t have loud, irritating techno-pop music playing in the background ** Thanks man. Subbed. 👍🏽
I agree! Thank you for the great informative video, and, with no music. By the way you don't have to shave your hands, natural is good. You're an artist!!
I have learnt so much more through this video than I have in years, you have no idea how much I struggled all these years with my muddy shading now I feel like anything is possible and that life is worth living. So so grateful, thank you 🌻
I have made a really good progress regarding proportions, shapes, outlines, but when it comes to shading I’m always lost, I’m learning how to tattoo and I know the shading is key to stand out, this is the first time I actually understood how to make a plan and how to develop it. I’m going to try it out in my own drawings. Thank you so much
The way you explain the process is so good. I usually get easily distracted when watching videos like this. But I can't look away from the video. And it's so much easier to understand. Thanks for this
I saw this exact tutorial like approximately few months ago and I just cant thank you enough, I am an artist in digital for around 4-5 years (2024 will mark my 5th year) and this exact shading tutorial just altered my art COMPLETELY. Really I cant, I watched so many tutorials for so many years and this simple 40min shading guide just covering all of that I learned on previously, this tutorial is truthly lifechanging and every, EVERY artist that I will come across in future, Ill send them this if either they struggle with shading or in general need help with art. Its mind boggling how you share this knowlege for free and Im VERY thankfull for that Brent, you are a hero.
I've watched more than 150 videos about drawing (some of which I watched more than 3 times) on TH-cam and found THIS is by far the best lecture with demonstrations about the Values and how to apply them in a very organized way. Now I have acquired a very systematic knowledge of completing a drawing successfully. I really thank you for these videos explaining Shading, in series.
I have had this explained to me time and time again and have never really been able to put all the pieces together. Your 5 step process makes perfect sense to me! Thank you, sir
This is the first time I really sat down to take notes from an art video, I knew something was lacking in my comprehension of shading and light, but I couldn't put my finger on it. The process you've laid out is straightforward and filled in the blanks I had, many thanks!
No way😮 I had no idea that Brent had a TH-cam channel, I love your teaching so much ever since I got your gesture drawing course it's really helping me grow my figure drawing skills
For me all of his courses are worth it. I love how clear he teaches every topic and lesson. Reason why i still keep my skillshare subscription until now. In my own opinion, his art and science of drawing series are gold mine. I always go back to his courses whenever i feel lost in my drawing skills.
i usually never fully watch any art teaching video, but you explained everything so well and easily (english is not my first language) that i kept looking at your shading process in awe. thank you for making this video
I‘m still very much a newbie, couldn’t for the life of me understand shading as it should be, until just now as you have shown and explained, so well, that I have finally comprehended it, now I just have to put it to practice. Thank you so much! You have a calm voice, have taken your time and easily explained it. A very worthy Tutorial! Very much appreciated!
This is a well structured video. Sometimes I become overwhelmed with the wealth of information about drawing that I'm not sure where to start. Thanks for providing a basic template for shading to work on and providing much direction as a free resource. I subscribed to your mailing list. I am working a tiring 9-5 and drawing is what lights a fire in me so this guidance is invaluable.
Brent is so clear and descriptive when instructing. I'm looking forward to his new book, coming next month. Thank you, Brent, for sharing your love of art and your wonderful knowledge on the subject..
Gratitude for this amazing lesson. You took an amazingly complex subject and formulated a clear and concise approach that no one in any art school i attended has ever done.. thank you kindly
Thank you for showing how you can move from the sphere to a next step. I've been stuck on shapes unsure of how to take that and put into other objects. I saw it, but this demonstration helped it click.
As an artist, I use various mediums but haven't done much with pencil. am anxious to try it. The instructor explains the process very well. Thanks so much!
This is very good. I am taking it forward from the very basic technique I learned from TV modules by an artist called Jon Gnagy, must be over 60 years ago when I was in grade school. That understanding still holds good, but this is far more developed. I always thought I would go back to this when I finally retired from a lifetime of work, and here is all this great instruction on the internet I could never have anticipated, just waiting for me. It is a great pleasure and satisfaction to round out this interest that got lost somewhere in childhood. The kid had some little bit of talent, which is still in there, and now lots of time to play and satisfy the urge to create. Many thanks!
Best free drawing lesson on youtube, greatly appreciated... On the brown paper, have you tried using a slightly lighter brown pencil for the light and then the white only for the highlights? Might look like a brown sculpture with your shading prowess
A fascinating and immensely helpful technique for drawing shadows. Your method helps students get right in there. So many are put off by the long structured courses that emphasise stuff like understanding light, form, and anatomy, as well as a meticulous approach to observation and rendering. All necessary stuff eventually but this allows them to dive right in and still produce good results and hopefully get addicted to art.
I took incredible value from this video! I would love it if you did a version of the shading process but for charcoal. I can have a lot of control using pencil but I'm struggling with charcoal so much.
From one teacher to another, you are a damn great teacher. The step by step approach and explanations will help me draw better, but also help me to improve as teacher. Keep posting. From the French Caribbean
You have amazing teaching skills. So clear, the information given is also well organised, shared with patience and details. The exercices are great to help us understand and practice. Thank you very much for these useful courses on shading.
Your approach reminds me quite a bit of the cartoons Michaelangelo would make before he would proceed with a painting or sculpture. Particularly the Madonna with Child and the Piéta. I love the glowing highlight and the shadowed area between the core shadow and cast shadow and the way in which they make the figure glow. I wonder if you have a tutorial on drapery? Something I have never been able to nail. 😁
Great tutorial, I really find this subject pretty boring but you made it all easy to digest and now I wanna try your technique. I thank the algorithm for leading me to your channel. I'm currently learning pen and ink drawing landscapes and architecture.
I'm glad I came across this video. For me, this is the best breakdown of shading. I haven't applied it to my drawings yet (I will later today), but you made me understand shading more than others I came across on TH-cam.
Great work. Your 5 steps shading process has really helped a lot. This one video alone has transformed many many lives. It's like "God" of art coming down to earth and enlightning the humans
Finally, there are western drawing tutorials that actually focus on academic art and high quality education. The western art community very much lacks academic training. Thank you!
Thank you for making such a concise guide and sharing your process for free here! If you happen to read this comment, I'd love if you could clarify any further on the placement of the reflected light vs. cast shadow under the armpit. I would have expected the reflected diffuse light from yhe ground to light up the cast shadow under the armpit if it tis lighting up the area just next to it. Undoubtedly your choice of putting a cast shadow there helps communicate the overall values in the drawing- but is this more of an occlusion shadow?
Yooo this was very informative. Best shading explanation I’ve seen so far. I used to be into art but later dropped out cause of personal issues and it became really frustrating because I never really knew what to do 😂. But as the interest is back I hope I can stick to it and progress
wow!!! excellent video, thank you!. I've been drawing for several years, this video was very helpful. Fantastic job on breaking it down, step by step in detail!!. What pencils were you using though?? Conte Paris black? Charcoal???

Luxury taste kind of art sir.. Your draw have historical books smill... I can notice that easily... You the native of creative, base form of art itself, you will be the best in the world Don't stop and Good luck... ✨🌹
I’m not really a fan of “blending:” in drawing. Blending unless done by an expert tends to look sloppy and ruins the clear divisions between values. But this is a personal opinion. As always, experiment to see what works for you!
I might be missing something, but a lot of great artist I like draw with no terminator shadow or a very subtle one. And Im sure they are very professional. May be there are some situations where it can be dropped or is it a style choice?
this is a very useful tutorial with a clear explanation of the fundamental shading basics but for me it's kinda feel like that "how to draw an owl" meme i understand that all that happened in "step 5" was just a refinement, and yet i feel that a speed paint with some commentaries would help a lot more than a fading transition (ps and sorry if it sounds like gibberish. english is not my native language)

What would you use to blend graphite? Paintbrushes, blending stumps, tissues, etc. or not using a tool to blend is better?

but for me it's kinda feel like that "how to draw an owl" meme
