Shading is one of the easiest ways of adding depth, contrast, character, and movement to your drawings. By controlling pencil pressure and stroke, understanding light and having knowledge of blending techniques, an artist can enhance their work and offer the "wow" factor needed to produce realistic artworks. How to Draw Cool Stuff: Shading Techniques for Teachers and Students offers a series of shading tutorials that are easy to understand and simple to follow.

Inside this book is a series of lessons designed to teach you how to add dimension to your own drawings, how to analyze real life objects and shade, create highlights, blend tones, and produce realistic drawings with ease. We will explore hatching, cross hatching, and stippling techniques and learn how to use contrast to set a mood and create a focal point. At last - we'll put all of these skills to the test and work together to produce a beautiful piece of art. Shading Techniques for Teachers and Students includes many resources to help you along the way through examples, tips on what you should aim for, and pitfalls to avoid.
