Answer 1

If u are drawing a metal surface in art u have to know were your light is coming from. the part that the light hits first leave white as u go away from the light it gets darker.

Example: if light is hitting a ball from the left it would be white on the left as you go to the right it would get darker intill u get to the very right

Answer 2

Use your eraser a lot...darken and shade and then erase out lights that should do it....
