Shading

Shading on a wooden mannequin.

For this drawing i decided to try out some different styles of shading, as you can see towards the top of the mannequin i use the side of the pencil using different amounts of pressure to give it the different shades, then in the middle of the mannequin i used the different shade pencils on their side from HB to H3 with the same amount of pressure to get a similar effect to the tap parts and then at the bottom i use the HB shade but used small lines in a checked pastern but in different amounts making the affected aria look darker and then less lines when i wanted it to look brighter.

Art from media

Popular Comic book characters:

Batman

 Deadpool

 The Arrow

 The Flash

I made these photos using the simple paint tool in flash using a reference image. i did not refine the images because my skills in flash are not good enough and i am not good enough with a graphics tablet to get smooth lines.

Popular TV and game characters:

Lina from Dota 2

Sven from Dota 2

Happy the cat from Fairy Tail

Some random anime girl

For Sven and Lina i used pencil and for Happy and the anime girl i used pen, this is because Happy and the anime girl have the most simple design and i thought that i could draw them without mistake and for Sven and Line their design was way more complex so i did them in pencil because i can rub them out and make more alterations if needed to but looking back now i could have just drawn them in pencil and gon over them in pen but i think they look good as it is.
