The Basics of Shading, Rendering, and Lighting

In this 2 hour and 42 minute long tutorial on shading you will get my insights and approach to learning the basics on shading, rendering, and lighting in black and white. I will show you how to render 3 basic primitive shapes, the sphere, cone, and cube to go over core shadows, cast shadows, half tones, high lights, occlusion shadows, center light, reflected light and bounce light:) I will then show you how I apply those principles to shading the complex form of a portrait bust in black and white. Through out the entire length of the video I share my thoughts, tips, photoshop hot keys, and insights on the subject of shading. I will also include the brushes I used for the renderings so you can follow along:) Hope you enjoy this longer format! All footage is in real time.
