Agenda: 9/15/2015

Create a value chart Practice high quality pencil shading

Create a value chart

1” wide by 9”. Break the 9 inch section into nine

individual 1” sections. Draw as light as you can in the first

square and get increasingly darker as he goes.

The last section will be the darkest you can make it. The scale should have nice even steps in shade, no big jumps in value, yet each one should be obviously darker then the last.

To make forms three dimensional

Draw the objects lightly in contour form. Observe how the light hits the objects. Draw the shade that you see on the form

with your pencil. You should not be able to see pencil

strokes and there should be no smudging with your fingers. All shading will be done with your pencil.

To make forms three dimensional

Each form will be defined by the shaded values not lines.

Make nice smooth pencil strokes for blending, no scratchy lines.

Fill the page with the drawing, don’t just do a little drawing in middle of the page.

Line

A mark made by a moving point. Has greater length than width. Directs the eye-horizontal,

vertical, diagonal, curvy, zig-zag, etc. Can be actual-obvious lines or the borders or

edges of shapes. Can be implied-series of points or shapes that

the viewers eyes connect. They are suggested, not actual.

Contour line – defines edges of shapes with line.

Leading Lines – are created by the eye following

the lines that linear objects, or their edges, to the center of interest in the artwork.
