Shading Your Objects From Bland to Round

Coloring. It's a simple and easy process. Yet there are so many ways to do so. There is cross-hatching, blotting, dotting and shading. But the whole purpose it to make the object unique; to make the object look like nothing no one has ever seen before.

Shading is, for me, the simplest form of coloring. The most common tool that is used for this specific strategy is colored pencils. Materials include your favorite coloring pencils and a sheet of paper.
 

Step One:

Draw your object. If you are just starting out, draw a simple shape, like a circle. By the end of this, you will be able to make that simple circle into a sphere!

Step Two:

Start out in one edge of the circle and apply pressure to the pencil. Start out by overlapping the color to the edge moving farther away from the edge to the center of the circle. As you are doing this however, decrease the pressure slowly.

Step Three:

After you finish this, it should look as if the edge is moderately darker than the center.

Step Four:

Repeat step two all around the circle!

When you finish this, your bland little circle should look round and different!
