Go From Flat to Realistic Shading! Here’s How

Learn how proper shading brings realism to your drawings by understanding how light interacts with forms. This lesson covers identifying planes on objects and how they affect light and shadow. You'll explore the components of light on form, like terminators, form shadows, cast shadows, halftones, highlights, reflected light, core shadows, and occlusion shadows.

You'll organize these elements into value zones to structure your shading effectively. Understand the differences between light and shadow values and how to manage transitions between them. By mastering these concepts, you'll enhance the depth and realism of your artwork.
