Every artist goes through growing pains while learning their craft. I recently got an interesting comment from a subscriber who wrote, " Merrill could you please make another video for practicing the shading. I made my drawings good than i screw them up with shading! please help!

Fut Duppe was famous for ruining his portraits, by shading too much. His name has entered the colloquial and artists often express their displeasure while critiquing a work by saying phrases such as, "Wow! Your drawing is Fut Duppe" meaning that it is flawed in the quality of the shading. Here is an example of a Fut Duppe Drawing. Girls dont have moustaches........Thats Fut Duppe.

Step 5: Take out a ballpoint pen in a color that is not similar to the pencil shading of the Fut Dup Drawing. Go over every correct line. Do not touch the Fut Duppe parts. It is imperative that you do not move the paper while doing this to prevent a second Fut Duppe Drawing. Essentially what we are making is a print.

If you follow my steps correctly the graphite on the back will make a print on the paper below, thanks to the pressure from the ball point pen.

Step 6: After you finish retracing the lines that you want with the ballpoint pen, remove the Fut Duppe Drawing from the paper below. You are now be able to restart your shading and there should be no fear of screwing up again because this process can be repeated as many times as you want.

So there you have it. Now the young artists of the world know that can take chances with their shading without worrying that they are going to BLEEP it up. Happy drawing everybody!
