Shading shading and shading
What medium is best for really getting your shading down?
- Prisma color pencils
- Pastels and Pastel Pencils
- Water colors?
I am curious, please provide feed back, my mentor has me working with all three but I was curious as to what others have been using and their experience as well.
Thanks

it might not make sense now, but if you have good results with one of those three, try and tattoo like that. tattooing will make you better at shading, but getting the technique down in another medium and applying to tattooing it is what will make your tattooing better.

I completely believe you, my tattoos are getting better due to just that. I am working harder and harder at it, its absorbing my brain this week for sure. All I can think about is drawing and tattooing, even while working on servers at work. lol

Re: Shading shading and shading
If you get the Prismacolor 120 set. You get 3 sets of grays. Warm, Cool, and French. Each with 90%, 70%, 50%, 30%, 20%, and 10%. I love working with colored pencils, I love tube acrylics too because I can use them like a watercolor if I want.

Re: Shading shading and shading
This is one a slight tangent, but ive been oil painting for about 3 months and its super fun! I thought drying time would be an issue, but I actually prefer it to acrylic that dries insanely fast. Ill have some of my oil paintings in Cranial Visions when it comes out! Super excited.

I agree, oil is my favorite medium for studies and illustrations. Pastels are cool too. I feel that watercolors are limiting and slow and I just plain don't like acrylics or colored pencils. Once you're used to it, you can knock out a nice small oil painting in a couple of hours and it looks a lot nicer hung on the wall than a piece of paper IMO.
