At the high level you draw the structure, the next step is to fill it with brightness values, and erase the lines.
There are no lines in nature!

So you start with a structure:

Then you draw from one side to another, or top to bottom.

While all the time look how dark or light each area is. If you made it too light, you make it darker, and vice versa.

At the end, you just have brightness values (dark and light areas), but NO lines.

Thank you for this lesson.
I always knew my shading was defective, I knew it only looked good but was not professional, the outline was to be removed but I instead made it heavier.
I used to draw a faint circle around the area I plan to give a darker shading but now I know better thanks to you.

My pleasure.

Maybe you'd like this guide. Pay attention to values (brightness values), and edges.
