Begin by drawing in the darkest shadows that you see, but
don't darken them all the way yet. Like drawing fabric
shadow shapes, I draw "reflection shapes" of the shapes I
see that are created by the reflections on the metal object.
So on the pivot arm I've added shadows, and on the arm
itself I've drawn reflection shapes. When shading reflective
objects, the shadows often have sharp edges, so you might
want to have your pencil pretty sharp as well. |
