There's a link to my DeviantArt account on my channel. I post high-resolution pictures over there.

thanks for sharing but how is this any different from hatching? except that you dont lift off the pencil, which you should :D

[Supersecretchicken]

For me, lifting the pencil takes extra time and sometimes causes me to lose my place. I use traditional hatching as well, but this technique is just as useful to me.

wich pencil do you use?

[Supersecretchicken]

HB mechanical pencil, 4H, and 8B.

my shades never blend in....

[gregorysharp]

.5mm mechanical pencil will do most anything. If you can control it. Custom pencils are great but hardly necessary.

[weazelwarner]

[Gustavomazu]

"Shading for noobs"? That's kind of offensive.

[DMsStuff]

your hand is tweaking out like crazy, you seem like youd be good at button mashing games.

Thanks for this. I needed to learn how to do some shading as i'm doing concept art at the moment in college.
