      Hey guys, I’m still having trouble identifying light, mid, and dark tones. What’s the best way to figure them out? And which H and B pencils would you recommend for shading this kind of drawing? I’d appreciate any tips—I’ll show you my final result afterwards.

      Love

          • I would use hb, 2b, or a soft and hard use of 4b,6b for skin 8b or charcoal for eyebrow,hb, 4b, 6b for lips, 4b,6b,8b for helmet definitely pressure control plays a big role

            • @Jay thank you for ur Tipps Jay

              • @Jay Good advice Jay. I am sure others of us in the community will benefit from your advice.

                • @Jay what do I think? I blended all the tones using the stump with circular motions, but I still feel like it lacks depth, and the highlights aren’t finished yet.

                • 4b, 6b and 9b, the last one for the deepter shadow but it is also about layering and the blending/tissue on fingertip. You can bring the light back with erasing.
