The Art & Science of Figure Drawing

Shading

For today's project, use your drawing from previous lessons and follow these steps:

  1. Draw the edge of the core shadow at the line of termination, recording the details as it travels over protrusions on the body's surface.
  2. Use the side of the pencil lead to ensure the core shadow edge is balanced between firmness and softness.
  3. After your first pass, make corrections and add any missed details.

Remember to maintain the larger light and shadow patterns while adding details. Once completed, you'll be ready for the next lesson on drawing cast shadows.
