Learning Gradation and Shading Compositions

This video tutorial covers the concept of graduation in art, explaining how values transition gradually from one to another. It demonstrates creating a graduation scale using different grades of pencils and blending techniques. The tutorial also shows how to draw a realistic sphere using graduation, highlighting the importance of light and shadow, and the difference between soft and hard edges.
