Artists can take their skills beyond simply outlining and filling in values, by learning how to draw without lines. In the real world, very few objects have actual lines defining their forms. Rather, contrasting values identify the edges of the object's parts according to the lights and darks created by the dominant light source.

Preview lesson V02 - Photorealism: Very Close Up

I don't use any one type of form or style for photorealism. Only use what seems to be the correct shape of line or hand movement for shading of a particular area. Squirkles is a wonderful style and I'll try it next time I'm drawing. From the PDF the Juxtaposition of the shades are very precise and soft.

Fantastic! I'm going to try this exercise at home. JanJan
