Shading is a way to shade your drawings into real life. It will give details and alive touches to your art. there are many techniques about that. Shading can also be called as shadow.

Sketch is a messy drawing after you figure out what to draw. sketches need to be light and a little messy. sketches dont have expectations and just allow yourself to fail. Dont worry about the messy sketches you make, because you will outline it neatly after you are done with your sketch.

While the softer B pencils are generally considered the best for shading, there's no reason to discount the harder H pencils. The HB and H are good choices for fine, light, even shading. However, they too have drawbacks. Pencil grades from HB through H, 2H to 5H get progressively harder and are easier to keep sharp.
