I have created this quick course to address a common problem that my Skillshare students struggle with: Shading! This class will teach you how to properly organize shading in your drawings. When you complete this course you should be able to keep a clear division between light and shadow values and draw with a full range of values that includes rich darks and bright lights.

For a more immersive and structured learning experience I recommend checking out my Art & Science of Drawing series. Students should start with Basic Skills if you are new to the practice of drawing. If you are interested in mastering shading please check out Shading Fundamentals and Shading Beyond the Basics.

I have two drawing books that many students find valuable learning tools to accompany my courses. My first book "The Art & Science of Drawing: Learn to Observe, Analyze and Draw Any Subject" is available in paperback and for kindle. My second book "The Art & Science of Figure Drawing: Learn to Observe, Analyze and Draw the Human Body" is available in paperback and for kindle.
