Nature Drawing with Shading
Learning Objective
I can create a nature drawing using observation and shading techniques.
Key Concepts
To draw bushes like a pro (or at least not like a kindergartener), move your pencil in a round and round motion, like you're stirring a cauldron of artistic genius!
When drawing bushes, remember the 'pressure principle': Apply more pressure for shadows (like you're squishing a bug) and less pressure for highlights (like you're tickling a feather).
If your bushes look a bit flat, create a shadow block at the bottom and blend it with cotton, like you're giving your bush a cozy little blanket to sleep on!
