First Autoportrait - Shading questions

[arzo72]

good work,yes shading, first of all you shouldnt think of shading as separate problem from linear drawing you should decide in advance if you want shaded tonal aproach or linear, for shaded and studying i would recomend you Ingres french painter 19.ct. his drawings are awesome.
the way you started to introduce shadows in your drawing is good go from general to detail it always works for studying purposes! when you have general shadows in some midlle gray finished then ypu introduce one darker about 80% and one lighter about 35% grey.
and probably it is best to work on toned papers
good luck
