Excellent video. *You get right to it without subjecting us to your life story**You explain the process in a concise, easy-to-internalize manner**You don’t have loud, irritating techno-pop music playing in the background * Thanks man. Subbed. 👍🏽

An entire foundations drawing class in one video! A whole college class didn't compare to this truly.

Darkening the background is genius and changes a lot in a good way
@michaeljohnson1990
Kinda weird. I felt like I was sitting next to you and you were telling ME how you do it! Calm voice, a great 5 step plan and examples of execution.

I have made a really good progress regarding proportions, shapes, outlines, but when it comes to shading I’m always lost, I’m learning how to tattoo and I know the shading is key to stand out, this is the first time I actually understood how to make a plan and how to develop it. I’m going to try it out in my own drawings. Thank you so much

I saw this exact tutorial like approximately few months ago and I just cant thank you enough, I am an artist in digital for around 4-5 years (2024 will mark my 5th year) and this exact shading tutorial just altered my art COMPLETELY. Really I cant, I watched so many tutorials for so many years and this simple 40min shading guide just covering all of that I learned on previously, this tutorial is truthly lifechanging and every, EVERY artist that I will come across in future, Ill send them this if either they struggle with shading or in general need help with art. Its mind boggling how you share this knowlege for free and Im VERY thankfull for that Brent, you are a hero.
@arup2466
This is the best video I've seen on the internet about shading. Well done. An excellent piece of work.
@efrenbaylon7364
I just subscribed! This is the only channel i've found wherein it actually explains how to shade properly. Thank you so much! My art turned from just guessing where to put shadows or highlights into finally knowing how to do it properly. I'm so glad I've found your channel. You definitely deserve more subs! ❤
@adamjohns5278
I have had this explained to me time and time again and have never really been able to put all the pieces together. Your 5 step process makes perfect sense to me! Thank you, sir
@KayEsEm
Oh my days what the actual 🤬🤬🤬 that finished result made me want to break my desk!! AMAZING GOOD SIR THANK YOU FOR THE LESSON 🙏 infinitly grateful.
@Cicielle1331
The way you explain the process is so good. I usually get easily distracted when watching videos like this. But I can't look away from the video. And it's so much easier to understand. Thanks for this
@Odysseus_Outis
I've watched more than 150 videos about drawing (some of which I watched more than 3 times) on YouTube and found THIS is by far the best lecture with demonstrations about the Values and how to apply them in a very organized way. Now I have acquired a very systematic knowledge of completing a drawing successfully. I really thank you for these videos explaining Shading, in series.
@bewwie9067
This is the first time I really sat down to take notes from an art video, I knew something was lacking in my comprehension of shading and light, but I couldn't put my finger on it. The process you've laid out is straightforward and filled in the blanks I had, many thanks!
@Tha_Pencil
You deserve some kind of an award for this amazing shading video series. Its seriously supreme in its quality. Stand proud Sensei
@benedits5206
No way😮 I had no idea that Brent had a YouTube channel, I love your teaching so much ever since I got your gesture drawing course it's really helping me grow my figure drawing skills
@aadams5864
Brent I’m a student of your art & science classes. I’m forever indebted to your teachings!
@DougHolt-h5r
i usually never fully watch any art teaching video, but you explained everything so well and easily (english is not my first language) that i kept looking at your shading process in awe. thank you for making this video
@sydbarrett7511
I have learnt so much more through this video than I have in years, you have no idea how much I struggled all these years with my muddy shading now I feel like anything is possible and that life is worth living. So so grateful, thank you 🌻
@manthasagittarius1
This is very good. I am taking it forward from the very basic technique I learned from TV modules by an artist called Jon Gnagy, must be over 60 years ago when I was in grade school. That understanding still holds good, but this is far more developed. I always thought I would go back to this when I finally retired from a lifetime of work, and here is all this great instruction on the internet I could never have anticipated, just waiting for me. It is a great pleasure and satisfaction to round out this interest that got lost somewhere in childhood. The kid had some little bit of talent, which is still in there, and now lots of time to play and satisfy the urge to create. Many thanks!
