@theartcoach: Tap the link in my bio to start the drawing drills course! Explosions aren’t just blobs of smoke. They’re movement. When I shade something like this, I don’t randomly scribble. I use radiating lines that move outward from the center of the blast. Every hatch mark follows the direction of force. Lines don’t just darken an area. They carry energy. When your hatching follows the expansion of the plume, the drawing feels dynamic instead of flat. When your spacing is controlled, the smoke feels dimensional instead of messy. This is line control. This is directional awareness. This is trained movement. Over 1,000 artists are using the Drawing Drills to master controlled hatching, even spacing, pressure sensitivity, and dynamic mark making so they can draw scenes like this from imagination. Want your lines to feel powerful instead of random?

Can you make a video on the lines, specifically where does the light come from to choose where to shade? Could you make examples of light coming from the left, right, and center of the page?
