3.5 Shading with Charcoal and Paper Stump

Ramon demonstrates how to create simple light and dark gradations using traditional charcoal and a paper stump.
 This technique is fun, simple, and great preparation for painting later on.
 Remember, you don’t have to use these exact materials—as long as you capture the right values, edges, and structure, you can use whatever tools work best for you.
