 What's good YouTube? It's your boy Chi world back at y'all again with another tutorial And before we get started I want to say if you haven't already subscribed to the channel go ahead and do that now make sure you hit post Notification so you will be notified every time I upload some more heat in today's video I will be showing you guys my method of shading how I learn how to shade Let's jump right into it first thing you want to do man. You want to download a lot of pictures and Really study it study how the light hits and how the shade React to where the light hitting it so on this picture I can just tell that the light is coming here from the top because the shadow is underneath him As you can see like it's under his eyebrows Under his nose like just look at just look at regular pictures and study it Okay, he got a strong shadow under his eyebrow on his nose nose on his lips on his chin and just And just go through On this two-part picture It's strongly hitting from the right side and the light is heavily coming from the left See this heavy shadow right here like so After you study all the pictures that you do you download it and you just figure out how The light in the shadow is reacting to the light When you working on your picture try to try to imagine the same thing like Decide where you want the light what direction you want the light to hit and make sure the shadow is on the opposite side So if the light is hitting from the top the shadow gonna be underneath if it's hitting from the bottom You know the shadow will be up top if it's if it's hitting from the left If it's in from the left side shadow will be on the right at the light hitting from the right side The shadow be hitting on the left let's see Okay, the light is hitting strongly on the left side So the shadow is hitting even stronger on the right side and the farther you go away from the light You will have more shadow See and the shadow kind of give it a depth of feel like a 3d dimension It let you it lets you know what shape you're dealing with like without shadow and shading This picture will be flat. It'll just it'll just be line work But when it have the different shades in the tone it shapes the figure so See this red rose picture Shadow coming strongly from the left side light is hitting from the center It's kind of some shade some shadow on the right strongly on this chain And I really just go through the pictures and I study them Just one same thing shows coming strong from the left side Light is kind of in the center like but it's more to the right You got more shadow over here I'm just get something up We're gonna just make up a song Oh What we seem try to guess what a shadow So now I'm deciding by what we just what I just showed you guys with the pictures I Want my shadow to come strong from the left side Make sure when you finish with your line work you go ahead and lock that layer Keep it at the top and create a new layer Underneath just for your shade and every time you go a tone darker or a tone lighter create new layers Just for that one color
