Hello!

First of all a big thank you to Uncomfortable for this amazing resource.

 

Working on the 50% rule, I am realizing that I know jack about shading.

I bought and read James Gurney's Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter which I enjoyed and learned a lot from in terms of color theory. However, I feel completely lost when it comes to shading: tools to use (especially digitally), techniques etc.

 

I am wondering if there is a resource as good as DaB when it comes to those subjects - I am having a hard time juggling youtube videos to really understand and learn shading.

 

Thank you everyone.

I think you're going to have more luck with this question in a community such as /r/learnart, /r/learntodraw, or /r/artistlounge. While your question is tangentially drawabox related (in that you're using it to describe what you're looking for), it's best to pose it to those who have experience with a very wide range of resources - whereas those here are more likely to still be working through Drawabox, and thus have less exposure to other materials.
