Shading 101
So you managed a good drawing, but now how do you shade the thing?! During this four-week mini-course, we will go over techniques (and drills to improve your techniques), materials, and theory. The aim is to demystify shading and set you up for success to keep practicing at home! Ideal for students that have previously taken a drawing course, or have some drawing experience. We will start with simple objects, but move quickly towards shading the human form.
