Basic Shading Technique

My newest drawing lesson is up and running! Whew! It’s actually two related lessons. The first is about an easy shading technique made with the side of the pencil lead, and the second is a step by step drawing of a ball to practice the technique on.

(Let me know if you find any grammar mistakes or need a step explained more clearly. I always find little things to fix after a lesson is uploaded and would appreciate more eyes than my own looking for them!)
