Adding Light Shading for a Still Life Drawing

Video Transcript

"Now that we've done this area we're going to continue to do the mid, but we're also going to keep in mind that there's this highlight there. We've got a highlight here and here and here. And there are lots of different areas on the glass because of the light and the glare and so forth. And even on the top of the bottle. So I'm just going to come in here and I'm going to indicate and do some really soft shading but where it's the light there I'm actually just going to leave that alone. I'm not even going to put anything there. When it's really high glare, depending on the shade of this, this is white so I can come back in and leave it to where there's really no pencil marks on it at all. And then I can come back in, I can come back in with the needed eraser and pull it out if I go too dark for the light shading. And this will pick it right back up. So I'm just going to do a little bit of shading up here. And you'll notice on this part of the bottle, the wooden bottle, I'm going to shade around where the really high glare is. And I'm just going to leave it the color of the paper. And if you like you can actually draw the shape of the glare. It's almost like this oblong shape here and you can just leave it that way. And then you can shade up to it. And that is the beginning of light shading and the end of light shading."
