1. shading

   Shading is the technique used in visual arts to represent varying degrees of lightness and darkness on a surface, which typically gives a two-dimensional drawing or painting the illusion of three-dimensionality. It's achieved by applying different levels or tones of color or black and white, simulating shadows and helping to suggest depth and volume. Furthermore, in the field of computer graphics, shading also refers to the process of adding color and light to a 3D model or scene.
