Shading make me feel like an artist. Drawing is not actually a talent I posses. I feel like shading and learning to shade well helps me draw better. By focusing on the contours and the shadows I am forced to really see all of the picture.
Artists, whatever their medium, make selections from the abounding materials of life, and organize these selections into works that are under the control of the artist.... In relation to the inclusiveness and literally endless intricacy of life, art is arbitrary, symbolic and abstracted. That is its value and the source of its own kind of order and coherence.
