Alright, now that we've got our face and we've drawn the bust and we've pretty much got the
image that we want to do we can come in and shade. If the light source is over here, there's
usually a shadow underneath the chin on this side. So you can come in and give some depth
to the face by shading underneath here. Really simply. And this shadow will usually creep
down onto the neck a little bit. And for some reason, it curves and then it just kind of
disappears into the neck. And then, if the light source is over here, I can also make
this side of the shirt a lot darker. And I'm shading this way, going up and down, but curving
at the same time to give this collar some shape. And on this side of the neck, I can actually
go a little bit darker because my light source is over here. And then on the face, I can
just kind of lightly start. It usually seems to start right in the middle is where this
side of the face gets darker. Then I just lightly am going down this side of the face.
And then on this side of the nose, I'm not drawing a line still, but I am drawing just
a slight indication of some shadow on this side of the nose. I can even come in and give
her some color on her cheeks. And then even though the nose will block some of the light,
it's not going to block all of it so you don't need to totally shadow this side of the face.
You just want to kind of indicate here. And if you want, you can actually just kind of
smooth this out a little bit with your finger. I didn't mention my finger in supplies, but
I figure I'll show you that technique as well. And that's shading.
