Pencil Shading Techniques

Pencil shading techniques are used to add depth and realism to 2D drawings. There are several types of pencil shading including crosshatching, which uses intersecting lines; smooth shading, which involves soft, consistent strokes; and stippling, which uses dots. Other techniques are slinky shading using fast back-and-forth motions, squirklings with curved lines and circles, circulism with small circles, and contour shading following the shape's lines. These shading methods help emphasize depth and contours through shades and shadows.
