Understanding the Art of Shading


I'm beginning to get the feeling that i need to change my name to Rebecca! There seem to be many successful artists, who also share their expertise, with that name. The last post was a link to a site by Rebecca Alzofon and this one is by Rebekah Lynn and I'll be putting up a link to a 3rd one, Rebecca Kimmel, soon.

This is a link to the tutorial on understanding the art of shading and the beautifully shaded horse above is an example of Rebekah's expertise. I agree wholeheartedly that there are 2 P's to do before getting to shade well - Pressure and Practice! I only wish I'd take the hint! Rebekah Lynn has several other tutorials too. I liked this one the best.

    I had a look at the post and realised that the post maybe confusing. I have updated it to indicate that the artwork belongs to Rebekah Lynn and is a part of her tutorial on Understanding the Art of Shading. This site is a directory of links that I've found useful and want to share with other like minded people. I appologize for the confusion.

Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain

Betty Edwards book has been a huge success. While putting together the last but one post I found a thread on the CGTalk forum based on the exercises in the book. Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain was the first book on drawing that I purchased and it got me started. This was over two years ago but I haven't got around to finishing the exercises in the book. I'm hoping to do so sometime soon and this thread will come in handy then.
