How do you use markers and shading in artwork?
First, the artist must learn to deal with the value bar, which often ranges from light to dark degrees according to the intensity of the color in the pen, then he must understand the source of the resulting light and how it moves and reflects on the object or model, then start drawing the broad or main lines of the object or model, Followed by placing both the reflected shadow and the shadow line on the object, all while maintaining the spacing of the lines and changing their direction depending on the direction of the light on the model, then we start shading the dark areas below the elements, and here three degrees of shadow will appear to us, which are the areas of light, the shadow of the model, and the shadow that I drop The form or object in the artwork.
How can light and shadow be divided in the shading process?
There are some matters related to shading that must be paid attention to at this stage, as the light is what we call the light emanating directly from a main source such as the sun, but if the light is highlighted on the object, the light bounces directly off it, and then the location of the shadow will change if the object moves, and there is the falling shadow On the object or the model, then there is the shadow cast by the object, i.e. the shadow left by the object, but not on the object itself but on other elements or on the surface, and finally the primary shadow is an area of shadow that no reflected light collides with.
How do we determine the values of light and shadow in the artwork?
Find the areas opposite the light source, they are called the brightest values, then often reveal the dark values on the object or model after that, and finally the section of the shadow cast closest to the object is usually the darkest or darkest value in the drawing, by locating The casting shadow of an object You can easily detect which direction the primary light source is coming from.
What are the important notes related to the shading process?
There are some notes that you should consider when starting the shading process. The lighting of your model is very important in the artwork. Low or poor lighting is like killing the fun in the artwork. Working on a painting without highlighting the shadows makes that painting cold and lifeless. Regardless of the lack of light and shadow in the artwork, you still need to show this kind of depth in the work, and the shadow areas must be kept relatively thin and transparent, and the light is more intense and pleasant.
