Good shading is vital to drawing realistically. In this class we'll use three types of shading: light, dark, blended. To focus on shading, we'll start by using a template to trace the shapes of the succulent plant or follow me to use a basic grid method to draw it into your sketchbook. By practicing the three types of shading in this class you'll get closer to achieving realism in your drawings!
