Something Else About Me
I
enjoy drawing, particularly horses as I think they are the most beautiful animal
that God created.

I
think Shading is important in drawings it makes the drawing alive and more real
not just a flat, black and white outline. Shading adds shape and depth. When I
draw I like/need to look at a photo or the real thing to get all the
proportions right. Photos are the easiest thing to use because they don’t walk
away, though the computer sometimes goes to sleep, but it only takes a few
clicks to get the picture back again.
If
you look at the two photos you should be able to see how the first is ok but
flat, whereas the second had depth and looks more alive. Sometimes the photo
I’m using doesn’t have much shadow so I exaggerate it or if it is overcast I
imagine where the shadow would be. When shading I also use a softer pencil than
for the rest of the picture, and shade with the side of it, then I use my
finger to blend from dark to light.
