Concept in Definition ABC

The word shading is used to designate that action that consists of providing shade, shading, be it a He drew or one painting. And obviously also the result of that action, the final product, let's say, already provided with shading, is designated that way..

So, where the concept that concerns us is most used is at the behest of painting and art plastic to name those figures, faces, objects, among others, that appear in a drawing or painting, with a shadow effect.
Meanwhile, the shadow is characterized by being an area in which darkness prevails over light, because the latter is precisely interrupted or obstructed in some way.

Returning to the usual use that is given to the term in question, we must say that shading is a practice that is It is very widespread in the world of plastic art and therefore artists of this type use it a lot in their productions.

Basically they use it to: specifically create a shadow, a dark space and thus forcefully represent both the light and the darkness of something in a drawing and to contribute

texture to a figure or picture.
There are many techniques that exist around this practice and they can be used to carry it out from pencils to plasters.

Crosshatch shading and blurred shading are the two most commonly used shading alternatives.
The first consists of making lines with a diagonal direction that overlap, while, if you want to contribute some clarity a certain space will be left between the mentioned lines.

And on the other hand, the blurred shading is used by those artists who shade from pencil exclusively and consists of pressing the pencil to create very dark areas that are then will blur.

It should be noted that the new technologies that can do almost anything have also reached the technique shading and that is why there are applications and computer programs that also perform this technique, including the popular program used in design Photoshop.
