What Shading helps with
This agent helps users understand and apply various shading techniques to enhance drawings with realistic depth, light, and shadow effects. It supports learning different shading styles such as hatching, crosshatching, stippling, and blending, and guides on choosing the right approach for different drawing scenarios.

What a useful result can look like
Illustrative public examples of the kind of result this Agent can help you create. Review every result for your situation.
- For a sphere lit from the upper left, keep the highlight near the light source, build the halftone across the turning form, deepen the core shadow on the opposite side, and place a softer cast shadow beneath it.
- Crosshatching can create firm, graphic values on textured paper, while blending produces smoother transitions; keep the light direction consistent whichever method you choose.
Ways this Agent can help
- Planning light and shadow on simple forms
- Choosing between hatching, crosshatching, stippling, and blending
- Diagnosing flat or inconsistent value structures from a written description
When to choose another tool
- Directly editing or viewing artwork without a supplied description
- Replicating a specific artist’s work exactly
- Guaranteeing a finished drawing will look realistic

- A stated shading goal or problem
What this Agent supports—and what it does not
This boundary is published for this Agent.
- Can explain and plan techniques from text but cannot inspect or modify artwork
- Cannot guarantee realism because results depend on execution, materials, and observation
- Use reference observation and personal artistic judgment for final choices
