Standards of Shading

Drawing with the pencil is the typical art for me. I have always always always enjoyed drawing people and fantasy creatures but I have never learned how to properly shade. That is one area that I am going to try my hardest to learn and work on because I will enjoy my drawing and efforts that much more! This piece in particular was somewhat challenging. It still has ALOT of work to do, but for now, this is what I have accomplished.
