    I remember when i was in elementary and highschool i always joined on different school competition for cartooning , and shading is very important it gives life to your drawing. sadly i stopped drawing after college , these videos encourage me to continue what i enjoyed doing before .

      The limbic system doesn't care about logic philosophy and rhetoric. It wants what feels good. People overdosing on sidewalks aren't insane. The part that knows what you should do and the part that guides what you actually do aren't connected. You have to make drawing your addiction. This means giving up your phone and the internet. If you get on your phone when you wake up and again when you take a break, I promise you're hard wiring yourself to hate drawing.
      The solution is don't touch your phone in the morning, not even to check the time. Eat breakfast and get your coffee and whatever and when that sense of boredom creeps in, that's when you draw. Your brain is going to fight hard to get you to do anything else on your breaks (every 20-25 minutes and stop when you're excited, don't keep pushing into frustration) but it's vital you create a loop where you're enjoying drawing and wanting to get back to it on your breaks.
      Jung's philosophies on psychology are good for a lasting understanding of yourself but drawing is simple behavioral psychology: create an environment where the thing you want to get good at is the most fun thing in the room.
      P.S. Reward systems are the most flawed thing society has came up with. Doing something hard then doing something fun isn't rewarding the difficult behavior it's rewarding the fact that you quit doing it. That's exactly how Pavlov would train a person to hate drawing

    Another way to get a better idea of toning is to have a miniature face sculpture, an action figure from the shop would work. Observing and learning the toning by placing the light from multiple angles also helps a lot. This tutorial gives a very good explanation of prioritizing different shadows. It is also necessary to have a good idea about the way the muscles are distributed over the face. Basically, face anatomy, for toning faces.

      Most likely for better grip. Plus our hands form into a ball and have empty space so instead of holding our pencil intensely and getting cramps, he puts something for the ball of the hand to hold.
