Hey, I have my art high school entrance exam tomorrow. I watched many videos of others drawing still life and learning the shades and tones as much as I could, even after 4 years of learning art in middle school. This art high school will pick out 16 students based on the exam, to teach them further. If I get into this high school, I will be extremely happy, and I am confident I will.. I know I can do it. I will be moving out and living with my brother in college in another city where this school is. Please guys, wish me the biggest luck on the exam, and thank you Jess and many others for helping me learn more and improving me. I promise, I will make it!

This single video in itself is so informative, as a beginner it helps me a lot cause often times when I sit down to practice my shading skills I really don't know HOW to practice. This helps a lot. Thanks a ton.

[@Aegiey]

Thank you! I'm currently swatching color pencils and though I've already set up a layout I like, it was only going to be for the darkest and lightest, but this gave me the idea of how to do it to have the 8 in between for each. So awesome!
