Mind-Blowing Realistic Shading Tricks

my attempt

This is amazing - I'm new to this drawing thing - I've done a couple of Stan's courses and am really pleased to have this new appreciation of the light and shadow puzzle - I always struggle to get things dark enough in the shadow areas but having permission to go from 45% light to 0% light at the edges is really liberating... I'm still not satisfied with my egg though - a few more tries and I'll upload one! Thanks Dorian - I like this format of small scope, deep learning - it feels much more manageable and is less intimidating than trying to take on huge topics all at once. Jo.
