Mikesaka Tamaki runs an art class in Japan. Through this slice-of-life manga, you'll get a peek into my daily life. By reading, you'll discover some of the drawing techniques I teach my students and catch a glimpse of life in Japan.
I usually start by teaching details first, then follow up with lighting and shading together.
The method you mentioned—teaching lighting and shading first, then adding details—sounds like the grisaille technique. That approach might actually be easier for my students to grasp. I’ll give it a try in the next lesson.

Lighting and shading are the two most important key elements in colorin; without them there are no details. As for the boundary lines, you’re right.
