This lesson adds a new warmup to your routine for practicing clean gradations, a crucial skill for good shading. I'll show you how to build pressure control, stroke consistency, and patience. We'll practice short, medium, and long gradations using both the tip and the side of your pencil. You'll learn how to create smooth transitions without visible steps or scratchy texture. I'll also cover how to make individual strokes with sharp, firm, and soft edges.
