- This video (which is part 2 in my graphite for beginners series) covers some more very important basics of using graphite pencils to create realistic art! In this part of the series, I talk about shading methods and give two different demonstrations for practice.

Don’t forget to check out part 1 if you want to learn some more basics of graphite pencils!🤍
Amazing video! Yesterday was my first day using graphite pencils and I’m going to try these ideas tomorrow! Thankyou :)
Glad it helped, I hope things are going well with your graphite!
CREATIVE Teaching = CREATIVE Results. I've gotten more satisfaction doing this than the few beginner's Art classes taken so far. THANK YOU so Very Much for Sharing YOUR GIFT!
I'm so glad you find my vids helpful☺💜
this isnt too long, you need all the information to use graphite. really great art examples to show 😀
I'm glad you enjoyed the video:) it took a really long time to put together haha, it was well worth it!
The water drops was great. Out of all the countless videos I’ve watched on drawing, this was the first to suggest this study. Thank you!!
I'm happy it helped and I think it should be included as a beginner study more often! Thanks for watching :)
Just starting out so enjoyed watching. I am a watercolorist co this will be very different for me. Thanks for your help. Look forward to seeing morefromyou.
Awesome, we could help each other out because I have been interested in watercolor lately😂
This was really helpful and I can't wait to watch again and try to follow along!
So glad to hear that :) thank you for watching!
Graphite is so good for practicing and really helps to learn the value! Great tutorial and tips!
thank you!! I agree, I think its also one of the easiest mediums to get your hands on and allows you to still practice without needing expensive supplies:)
Masterpiece as always
Thank you for your support also as always💙
Thank you for this! I actually wanted to start practicing with graphite again but I was afraid to do it but this video helped a lot!!
Happy I could help! Thanks for watching :)
If you havent seen my latest drawing, Comment What you think!
Hi Alexis, you are a very gifted person! Love to watch your techniques videos. Keep it up! Cheers.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoy my videos💜😊
Great tutorial and information. I have only used graphite a few times but now I want start working with it again :)
thanks Naomi! You definitely should, it is a fun and quick medium to work with :)
Very helpful. Thank you.
thanks for watching!
im drawing while watching you to learn the technique more, btw i watched the ads to help you out bc i really appreaciate the patience you have on shading stuffs UwU, im more of a watercolor artist but i wanna try out something new!
thank youu very much UwU
I'm the opposite- I'm a pencil artist but would like to learn watercolor, unfortunately I haven't had a lot of time for it so far but i really do want to learn haha! I'm glad this is helping you out and thank you so much for watching the ads that is so sweet💜
I'm practicing to use graphite and your video just pop. Thanks for this!❤
Great timing I suppose😂 thanks for watching, I hope it helped💙
Great video. Thanks for the tutorial once again
Thank you, glad this could help:)
Thanks for sharing your talent 😁 I appreciate it. Keep up the good work. God bless you. Good day!
thank you :) I am glad the video was useful! happy new year!
This is great thanks. Very useful for me just starting out.
So glad it helped😊😊
Great!! as always!! :)
Thank you!💙💙
Great videos. The correct pronunciation of the word 'Foliage' is FO....LEE....AGE...not FOI...LAGE. the 'I' comes after the 'L'..not before. From one teacher to another. Keep up the good work.
should i start practicing with regular pencils first or directly start with shading pencils ?
I would say practice with whatever you have! If you just have a normal yellow pencil (or mechanical) those are actually HB pencils. You can definitely practice with those. When you use pencils from a set like B, 2B, 4B, 8B, etc., you can get darker values and softer shading, or with H pencils extremely fine lines. But the HB pencil is basically inbetween the hard H pencil and the soft B pencil, its like a combination of both and will still work for shading but you won't get as dark results.
@@AlexisCassandraArt I mean even if I do use the shading pencils, how do I know which one I should use and where I should use it ?
One big thing..you didn't say anything about switching out different pencils, I barely noticed you doing that. I am a newbie so I freaked out 🤪 this is 1st time to even buy them.
You’re right ahh! I forget when I’m doing it. When you want more details, switch to harder pencils like B or HB or even H, when you want to shade mid tones use 2B-4B, you can use 8B or 9B (if they have it) for the darkest shadows! Hope that helps but I may make a video regarding this issue too
To be specific, beginners simply don't need expensive or heavyweight paper to draw anything. Graphite sticks to graphite, and if even 80 gsm paper won't handle all the layers you need, then you're using way too much pressure when applying the layers. Just about any sketchbook has paper suited to anything in this video. Whether it's a Strathmore 80 gsm sketchbook, or Strathmore 100 gsm drawing paper, it's more than heavy enough. That's why they put such paper in the sketchbooks.
Of course, Walmart's Pen Gear Sketchbooks or HP Premium 32 pound, acid and lignin free paper is extremely cheap, and even heavier than Strathmore sketchbook paper or drawing paper.
As for tooth, that's a personal choice, but I know far more pro graphite artists who use the smoothest paper they can find than ones who want tooth. Strathmore Bristol Smooth is far more popular than Strathmore Bristol Vellum.
As for the drops of water, I don't think that's a very good technique for making them look three dimensional. It can be used on tiny drops of water, but it just doesn't work well with large drops where there's room to do proper shading. If you look at a real drop of water on a flat surface, you should see a direction where the light source comes in, and unless that direction is always straight from above, you should also see three distinct shadows shadows, two on the side asway from the light, and one on the side of the light.
A water drop has a shadow that corresponds with the level of the light source, and the height of the water drop, just as a solid sphere, cube, etc. does. It also has a shadow created by the transparency of the water, and a shadow on the light side created by the line of water where it meets the surface it's on. From the location of your highlight, the shadow on the non-light side should be much larger and more out away from the water drop, just as it would with a slid object. There should also be a separation of these two shadows, but that has to be seen.
You can also add more of a 3-D effect by curving the highlight, just as you do inside an eye, and by making it much whiter. Normally, the entire surface of the drop, other than the highlight, should have some degree of shading, just as a solid sphere does. The difference is that the highlight on the water drop needs to have more pop that the highlight on a solid sphere. Otherwise, there isn't enough contrast to make the drop seem round, deep, and transparent. But it's the large shadow equivalent to the size of the drop, the proper shading on the drop, and the curve, the brightness, and the sharp edges of the highlight that make it look three dimensional.
Maybe a better way to put it is that these things make it look ROUND. You get some 3-D, but they all look flat on top, like a transparent pancake.
Hello, thanks for your comment! I actually had this and my other graphite video disabled for a bit because I feel like they are outdated. I really need to make an updated version sometime soon, but my channel also hasn't gone too far in the direction of graphite anymore. Maybe a better water drop study included!
Thay dont look like. Drops of eny thing af ever seen... en y is it everyone you erasers as pencils. Shuldant u get the affect with a pencil. Just putting it out ther good video. Bird tort me things. So big thanks🖼. En a like. 👍

Sad to see that your poor little bird only has two front 'toes' on its left 'foot'. Maybe its mom married a woodpecker. Still love your videos.
HAHA I should go back and fix that, oh well
