Getting started - Way 3 Shading

Shading is a hard process in my head. It seems hard but i had to start somewhere.

There are as you can see some types of shading. There is linear, random, crosshatching and plenty of more found on the internet.

 And another practice. You start with very dark tones. Decrease the darkness as you proceed until you have invisible lines.



These are very important practises and must done a couple of times, especially the second one. If you dont practice enough you will fail as i did in this drawing. Shading on the ball should go slightly darker. You can feel the lines between shading levels. And the shadow is a complete fail. Shadow of a ball is not in this shape. I'll practice more and share the results.
