overview
Secrets of Shading gives you the foundational knowledge you will need to render organic forms from imagination and better understand your references.
We begin with diagrams and exercises to help you understand shading and rendering as "drawing on the inside" of dimensionally conceived forms, and move on to several practical demonstrations.
The demonstrations are done with pencil and provide insight into working with graphite, but the concepts are applicable to all media. The videos total five hours of content and all chapters are fully narrated. All videos are 1080p full HD.

What others are saying
Dylan Coleman
The Secrets of Shading course delivers on what it promises by providing the secrets you need to know. Your favorite artists all do what Steve will teach you: from the basics, to the advanced knowledge and practice. The difference Steve makes, the secret I've only ever seen him tell, is what matters. I made a huge leap forward in a single day after watching these videos and you can too.
Gordon Tran
The Secrets of Shading course opened my mind up to the flexible nature of the seemingly concrete, objective nature of light and shadow. In the past I have had great difficulty in understanding how to transition between geoforms like boxes and cylinders to more organic forms such as the human figure, so I nearly cried after Steven taught me how to render arms without building them one geoform at a time.
