Basic Pencil Shading by Snigom on deviantART. Drawing Lesson 1 c - Shading an Apple. Okay, now we get to take everything you’ve learned on the last two lessons and apply it to something real – an apple in this case.
BLACK AND WHITE vs. COLOR PHOTOS Here are two photographs of the same apple. One is black and white, and the other color. Look for the absolute black areas of each apple. Black and white drawings are more dramatic, just like the photo. Look at the color photo, near the bottom of the apple and a little to the right.

Shading can be broken down into about 5 basic tones, from blacks, to dark grays, to middle grays, lights, and whites. Each of these tones will usually be represented in your portrait, and you must understand how to identify them, and shade them in correctly. A lot of your shading will depend on the overall "tone" of the portrait you are drawing. If you are working on a portrait that is set mostly in shadow (low key) then a lot of dark darks will be used. A "high key" (whispy, pastel, faded) portrait will have few blacks, but more light grays. However, most portraits have a balance of light and dark tones. I usually draw the black-blacks in last when I am doing a drawing, since they are the hardest to erase. The above illustration points out the "dark darks" in this particular pencil portrait.

In time, as you become more familiar with the different shades you can create, you will be able to ditch the shading guide and execute shading as though it is completely natural to you.
When you were back at the process of choosing your art supplies, you would have made a decision on whether to purchase a set of drawing pencils in different grades, or just one single pencil in a versatile grade. Again, this is a personal preference, and different people prefer different things. 1.) .) Drawing Lesson - How to Shade Pencil Drawings By Miranda Aschenbrenner. About Miranda My work fits into two very different and unrelated categories: realism and abstract.
Each style allows me to challenge different parts of my personality. Drawing realistically indulges the side of me that loves detail and is a perfectionist.
