What i love about your tutorials is that you dont just tell how to do something you get averything down to a science with in-depth explanations about how and why something is drawn the way it is. Keep em comin bro
Finally: someone that has met me with explanations of light and shadow that are both grounded in the actual science AND basic enough for me at the beginner level of such an aspect to grasp and thus apply. (THANK YOU)
Thanks a lot. There's a donate button on my channel if you feel you want to donate. It's always appreciated, but I'm happy enough to hear you liked the tutorial.
wow, I've never heard of light and planes described in this way, extremely enlightening! Love your videos Sycra! Thank you so much for taking the time to do these, they are much appreciated!
I thought I understood this in middle school when I was in art class but this is so much easier to follow, I feel like I can see it with my mind's eye- thanks for taking the time to make this even though most people watching your videos probably understand this
Thank you so much for your tutorials, Sycra! I remember I started watching them around 4 years ago (when I was still a beginner) and even now the same ones are as helpful and as enlightening to me still.
This lesson couldn't have come at a more perfect time. This is exactly what I am studying right now and I always find Sycra's explanations very amazing and more easy to understand, so I learn so much more. This is exciting!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge . There are so many people who would love to go to art school but because of money, age, location, family or work responsibilities they can't. Your videos are like the Khan Academy of art -and they open up a world of possibilities. I would say you have a lot of great karma coming your way!
This isn't boring at all! There's power in knowledge man and you're giving us lots of it.It will save us alot of headaches later as well :) Thanks mate
Amazing stuff. Especially the end about how the corner is highlighted. Of course I knew nothing is a perfect corner (or straight line, for that matter) but I never thought of it that way!
You are amazing, thank you so much for the help. I'm currently getting ready to make my first video game and I decided to learn how to draw well and this is what I was looking for. Thank you again.
Thank you so much for making this videos!! I'm finally begginning to understand lighting and shadowing!! You explain everything so well!! You're a great inspiration!! I have read some books and tutorials about lighting but they always started with a 3D figure like a sphere and although I did the exercises, I couldn't understand it very well and has a lot of doubts but with your explanation with planes, I finally think I'm starting to understand it!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge Sycra!!^^
Thank you for doing this. I was just looking to get into this stage the other day, and being a complete beginner, it's hard to know where to start. So thanks again!
I Had every knowledge on my art for free... I plan to give it all free in the future.Everyone whome i'll teach should thank sycra, mark crilley, sinix, evan burse, reiq,saejin, jazza and every person who has a drawing tutorial in the net.
But in the first example where you did the highlight on the corner (14:58), all of the little planes in the corner would be facing away from the light. None of them would be perpendicular to the light. Actually they would be further from a right angle than the big face on the right where you made it moderately light. So surely they should be darker than this side? Not a very bright highlight? I'm a bit confused by this.
Awesome video, man. It does explain a lot better than most schools out there. I was lucky some awesome mentors to explain me all of this, cause before in ur standard art school they skip all of that information or either say it in a way that you don't get wtf their talking about. There's one awesome line or a rule (which idk if its) that one of my mentors taught me. It was "form change means value change". I heard that from pretty much every artist I admired. I think Richard Schmid also said in his Alla Prima book. Anyways great vid. I'm gonna go over the whole series.
Watched so many videos on here I’m a solid tattooed learned to draw from tattooing I know it sounds backwards but have trouble sometimes when shadeing different things I could make it work just not really understanding why and doing it bc I’ve seen it before. Just started part one and finally a video that I’m zoned in on makes sense
I've been drawing for 7 years by now... And I'm ashamed to say this actually helped me a lot with shading. I always did it by feel and it turned out okay, but I'm a logical person and this makes way more sense to me than doing it by feel. (never went to an art school, that's probably why lol)
Great tutorial, but I have some doubt about the part starting at 6:22. I don't think that the point is how many particles the wall receives, but how much is the angle of refraction. So perpendicular means more light that return to your eyes.
i have some advice for people that are starting out in animation when your watching tutorials you should be animating as long as the teacher is also motion blurs can save alot of time and make it look nicer
Thank you very much, you are really good pen to share all these valuable information and knowledge for free, I hope all the people do these especially the clever ones, thanks and God bless you..
I might have a hard time understanding, but even on the corner of our folded piece of paper (when the light is coming in from the right horizontally), what plane on the corner could be perpendicular to the incoming light to create the highlight? Out of all the planes incl those that make up the corner, the large side on the right is the most perpendicular, right?
Sycra, maybe you're a little bit mistaken at the 7:00 part. That slanting plane would take 5 light particles too if it were longer. I guess that not the amount of light particles makes it darker or lighter but the distance between points where those particles hit the plane.
Wow look at this guy! He's seen my sketch books and my work. Wait a minute, no you haven't. God forbid I post another comment on a video before fully watching it.
It is amazing how much better information you can get at a place like UA-cam, as opposed to a college or university.
Back then. I have to scavenge my way thru bs just to find gems like this.
What i love about your tutorials is that you dont just tell how to do something you get averything down to a science with in-depth explanations about how and why something is drawn the way it is. Keep em comin bro

' extremely enlightening!'
I see what you did there...
;)
I had a billion "aha moments" during this series. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. :)
I just went through this whole series and IMMEDIATELY my current illustration has improved! Amazing! Thank you SO MUCH!!
I thought I understood this in middle school when I was in art class but this is so much easier to follow, I feel like I can see it with my mind's eye- thanks for taking the time to make this even though most people watching your videos probably understand this
Wow, you may say this is for beginners but I learned a lot. This is the first time I've heard about the perpendicular rule, it just opened my eyes!
Thank you so much for your tutorials, Sycra! I remember I started watching them around 4 years ago (when I was still a beginner) and even now the same ones are as helpful and as enlightening to me still.
I've been teaching myself to draw and never understood why edges had highlights until I watched your video. Thank you for explaining it!
2017 and it's still relevant and good explained. One of my favorite courses on Light Theory.
This lesson couldn't have come at a more perfect time. This is exactly what I am studying right now and I always find Sycra's explanations very amazing and more easy to understand, so I learn so much more. This is exciting!
whenever i see one of your videos on a topic i'm trying to learn, i always know i'll walk away understanding. Praise the Lord for you
Shadows are the key to realism and depth, these really helped me out so incredibly much
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge . There are so many people who would love to go to art school but because of money, age, location, family or work responsibilities they can't.

YAY!!! Something I don't know for once!!! Now all I need is a video on color theory and my paintings won't look like crap
WOW!!! what a meticulous video, this is awesome in every way !!!!
This isn't boring at all! There's power in knowledge man and you're giving us lots of it.It will save us alot of headaches later as well :) Thanks mate
Your learning about the foundations of the light & the shadows is interesting and very complete. Thanks Sycra !
Amazing stuff. Especially the end about how the corner is highlighted. Of course I knew nothing is a perfect corner (or straight line, for that matter) but I never thought of it that way!
This answers so many questions I had about drawing. Thank you so much for making this series.
Ahhh thank you so much for this. I'm self-taught and I'm applying to art colleges right now so this really helped a lot with my observational pieces.
You are amazing, thank you so much for the help. I'm currently getting ready to make my first video game and I decided to learn how to draw well and this is what I was looking for. Thank you again.
OMG! You are so talented teacher! I've never heard such entertaining explanation of that stuff.
Thank you so much for making this videos!! I'm finally begginning to understand lighting and shadowing!! You explain everything so well!! You're a great inspiration!!

These tutorials are priceless, thank you so much Sycra.
Sycra you're amazing!!! Thanks for this serie of videos. Im a beginner and from spain and you are helping me a lot!!

I am glad I discovered you on UA-cam, Sycra.
Sycra is like the Jesus of art. Thank you for saving us.

Thanks Sycra, these r things I learned in art school but you bring them into light so well :)

Omg thanks man! i've been looking for a resource like this for YEARS!
I have been waiting for this for a long time now!
Thank you, Sycra!!
Thanks for doing this video series! You helped me learn a lot about the use of light and shadow that I had trouble understanding.
ITS A LINE- ITS A PLANE
*no-*
it's Sycra teaching us!
I'm seriously in love w you. Thank you Sycra!!!!
I love you, bro. Are you ok with that?
I saw he first!!!
This whole series was super helpful. Thank you
Thank you for what you do for the art community. :)
Great video!
Woahhh this helped me so much! I never knew about midtones, thank you so much!
Thanx for the great help on this dunkect Sycra, it helped me a lot.
Love it ,looove it so simple ,no Jedi tricks
Sycraaaa!!! You're incredible amaizing and generous with the knowledge! Thank you a lot :)
Feel so inspired after watching your videos. Thanks!!!!
thanks sycra! i wanted this videos a long time!
Thankyou for introducing this subject! I can barely find one that doesn't refer to only photogrophy students!
best teacher in the world.
I've been drawing for 7 years by now... And I'm ashamed to say this actually helped me a lot with shading. I always did it by feel and it turned out okay, but I'm a logical person and this makes way more sense to me than doing it by feel. (never went to an art school, that's probably why lol)
Great tutorial, but I have some doubt about the part starting at 6:22. I don't think that the point is how many particles the wall receives, but how much is the angle of refraction. So perpendicular means more light that return to your eyes.
What if the one that face 2 particles has longer surface so it gets 5 light particles???
best drawing teacher ever!
So AWESOME! My drawing teacher did not talk about this at all...
Finally got around to it, huh? I'm glad, these tutorials are great. Thanks for the hard work syrca. =D
Hmmm...I had never really thought about why corner's get highlights. Hope there's more interesting facts in the next videos.
This is what I have been looking for or a long time!
Thank you so much. This is invaluable to me, and no one has explained this to me so well.
Thank you for making this video Sycra it was really helpful!!! i look forward to more videos like this in the future :D
Oh yeah , I'm giving you money. Damn man, what a great teacher!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow, this will be awesome to watch
Brilliant! Thank you so much for this Sycra. Just what I needed! :-)
Thanks a lot, now I understand why the corner is always the lightest
Very Detailed Lessons…!! Thanks 🙏!.
i have some advice for people that are starting out in animation when your watching tutorials you should be animating as long as the teacher is also motion blurs can save alot of time and make it look nicer
This taught me so much more about light than school has, damn. Also for drawing this helps a crap-ton
I always thought that those point highlights in Anime are just put there, so that it looks nice. Thanks for explaining this. :D
Boom! It's a nose.
Great teaching.
i love your videos!! They are so informative. Do you use a mouse for your artwork??
Fantastic video, very informative. Thank you!
Thank you very much, you are really good pen to share all these valuable information and knowledge for free, I hope all the people do these especially the clever ones, thanks and God bless you..
your videos are amazing !

Straight lines are done by holding down shift whilst you're drawing the line :)
thank you so much for doing this!your teaching method is great
Thank you for these tutorials
wow so detailed!! awesome
OMFG! I having problem with this and your video is helping me so much!
Than you so, so much, you are one of my prefered youtube art-masters
Sycra is awesome :D
Great video bro!!
thank you so much Sycra!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
Best teatcher ever!
Really helpful tutorial, thank you so much.
I'm learning a lot! Thanks for this
Wow look at this guy! He's seen my sketch books and my work. Wait a minute, no you haven't. God forbid I post another comment on a video before fully watching it.
Thanks so much for these lik tutorials~! It really helps!
"So we have our light particles..:" *draws waves*
Are you saying light is both particles and waves or something?
both particles and waves~ yeah~
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave%E2%80%93particle_duality
Light is a wave, a particle, and a joke.
@@lumix3855 He's also a genius
Thanks so much for explaining this.
Heyy that's the best tutorial I've ever seen about Shading. I want to support u and donate. Where can I donate for you?
"how to choose colors that work", also Sycra, is great, if you haven't seen it already. ^^
What program were u using for this lesson/demo?
excellent Tutorial!
Thank you. I have such a difficult time with plains.
