    • 11. [Student Feedback] Error 02: Upper Body & Shoulder StructureWhat to focus on: structure or form? Female upper body: structure-centric shading Male upper body: form-centric shading Aligning vision and structure

    • 12. [Student Feedback] Error 03: Lower Body & Pelvis StructureSilhouette vs. structure conflicts Starting from inner pelvis, not outline Understanding thigh cross-sections (think tear-drop shape) Hip rendering: mound and cavity structures Choosing expression style and tools

    • 13. Reflected Light & Occlusion ShadowWhy subtle tones inside shadows matter Roles of primary light, reflected light, ambient light, and occlusion Layering light/shadow by hierarchy Three-checkpoint light and shadow checklist

    • 14. [Student Feedback] Clothing Folds Analysis 01: PrinciplesWhy study clothing folds structurally? Three elements: contact point, empty space, force direction Folds develop in empty space Direction of force dictates fold flow The 3 structural properties of folds

    • 15. [Student Feedback] Clothing Folds Analysis 02Folds are for understanding, not copying Explore a taxonomy of nine types of folds

    • 16. From Simple to Complex Structure ModelingShift from ‘drawing structure’ to ‘building structure’ Three-stage structure modeling: size, depth, sharpness Step-by-step modeling routine Examples by clothing fit: overlaying structure on basic shapes Expanding drawing into 3D shaping

    • 18. [Student Feedback] Tone DistributionWhy aren’t planes uniformly shaded? Lambert cosine curve theory Why evenly divided tones feel flat Designing tone distribution by structure

    • 19. Coloring Stage GuideSketch: structural planning from doodles Shadow layout: two-tone plan based on structure Color and brightness: light direction & tone compression Tone detail: refine structure and surface materials Final: adjust overall tonal balance

    • 20. [Student Feedback] Style-Based Shading ApplicationCasual, realistic, cel-shaded style approaches What is tone deformation? Comparing shading by style Guidelines: what to preserve and what to adapt Style variation case studies

    • 21. Practice Project 01: Male CharacterStrong bodily muscular structure Rich contrast in tone

    • 22. Practice Project 02: Female CharacterSoft anatomy with crisp clothing fold sharpness

    • 23. Easy-to-Miss CheckpointsIs the form simplified yet consistent? Do forms look like spatial structures? Is the structure rich and properly shaped? Is the tone applied appropriately per structure? Is this based on habit or thoughtful design?

    • 24. Final MessageHow to apply what you learned to your art Expanding your studies further What kind of drawing would you like to create next?
