    When I am drawing people especially where the lighting is complex, I setup a mini-stage where I can control multiple lights and objects to determine how the lights and shadows interplay.
    I have a simple setup, a couple of ring stands with universal clamps holding flashlights and manikins, various boxes and other objects to cast shadows until I get the effect I want. I photograph the stage from different angles then choose the most interesting of them to use as my reference.

      That's a charcoal pencil sharpened to a the long tip to be used with the overhand grip. Holding the pencil this way allows you to make a wider range of marks: thick, thin and everything in between. Using it like only like we do for writing in school, we can only make smaller, thin markings. Give it a try!

    But HOW do I get a perfekt smooth shade? With a great gradient
    I can do this type of shade East but i can not make it look real 3D like a found ball. Some make it look like the object/face is REALLY 3D and not flat. I wanna do that too but i do not know how to?
    It is easier to make it smooth with charcoal powder, that i can do quite nice. But AGAIN, it doesnt look like the edge stunds out from the paper? Is it the shadow underneath that i need to do better or What? I saw a Guy draw a teddy on a 🚜 and it not only looked 3D it actually legit looked like it was real gadgets on a shelf. I can not do that. I dont understand how to do that?
    Can you help? What do i need to do to make it look like anything for ex the cheeks ”stands out” from the paper?

      The exposed tip is longer for use with the tripod grip, this allows you to make thick and thin marks with the same tool and in the same stroke.
      It's not for all types of art but is really handy when doing traditional and fine art. We have a video about the different types of grips on our channel.

      Highlites are the mainly the source of light that is illuminating your scene.
      A window, a bulb etc.
      If you telegraph the shadows towards the light source, then the center of your "beam ' on the surface of lit side of the object should be the highlight.
      I completely broke your mind here! 😂
      But as Stan said, specular high light is the angle source of light is coming to your eyes.

    Just realized the core shadow has a gradient based on reflected light giving the greatest light value shift. That and a dim light will likely create a hazy cast shadow as well.

    In best ways to explain it, you have to think about the optics of light to understand shadow formation, reflection, highlights, etc. The video here explains some of these aspects, like stray light from surroundings, highlight positioning, etc. A good thing to train in mind is the law of reflection and geometry.
