Decided to finally test out one of my non-photo blue pencils I got years ago.


Needless to say, I felt like a sucker.
So I did some research and found that I needed to convert it to grey-scale and mess with the thresholds.
This is what I got:


Lessons learned: Draw lightly, which is generally a good idea, but the blue will disappear more easily that way.

Need to try an experiment before too long.

Bump. Not sure what the purge rate is, currently.

I am actually working on one for this week's theme. I just haven't... shaded it yet. >_>

Actually, the guy in the upper right corner looks pretty good, John.

If you're trying to specifically practice shading, try practicing with simpler shapes (like cylinders or even spheres). That gives you a better feel for how shade covers different objects. Then shading more complex objects, like people, will start feeling more natural.

That's not the worst shading by any means.
What I remember being taught was to start with the lightest tone of shading (the one that covers the most area), then move to the next darker shade, and the next darker one, etc. moving progressively further from the light source. Each time, covering a smaller area.
Also, the "edge" on the dark side should be extra dark.

Also, shading value references are great.

Go ahead and cycle back.
I'll pick it when my turn comes around next.

Thanks, but I'm going to have to pass this time, as I'll be out of town for the next few days.
Plus, I feel it's only proper to pick a theme once I've actually contributed to the topic.

Time has run out for me on this one, sadly.
Not sure if submitting for older themes is a thing here, but I'll try and make up for this.

I need to just pick something and speed-draw it, because I still want to do this. (This week wore me out.)
