Welcome to Erens Sketching!✨
In this beginner-friendly drawing exercise, I demonstrate how to sketch and shade a cube and sphere composition using both charcoal and graphite pencils. This tutorial focuses on the interplay between light and shadow, showcasing how the sphere atop the cube creates dynamic highlights, cast shadows, and reflections. Perfect for beginners, this step-by-step guide will help you improve your understanding of shading techniques, form interaction, and how to bring depth and realism into your sketches. Explore the beauty of geometric shapes and their shadows as we combine two versatile mediums to create a striking study in light and form.
