- How to Add Shading to Circles - Part 2- Pencil Drawing Tips
Hi! My name is Peggy Robertson and on behalf of Expert Village.com, I am going to show you how to shade a circle.
You see how that softens it up? Now if I look at it and say well, it’s not quite right, I want the little white spot to be right there to show the light. I just take it off and if that is not bright enough, then I will darken the sides so that it shows up a little more, but is not really super bright.
Okay, so this is a circle. Now we are going to go really fast and do the shadow on… on the paper that it’s sitting on. Okay first you will notice that it is really dark right there, where it is sitting, which is right here, like a mini-shadow within a shadow and that the shadow comes out away from it; it doesn’t just go straight back because it is a round object, follows the curve and comes out and actually draws an oval itself. So that would be our shadow line which we got really light because you don’t want it to be dark.
