1.Shades
For our next work we are going to practice shading methods.
The easiest one is blending, when you rub your graphite scribble with a piece of cloth, tissue or even the finger.
The others involve creating the shade with a mesh of lines, also known as crosshatching. For light tones, the lines are loose and spread apart. For darker tones the lines closely overlap one another.
Our first exercise will be making a grey scale.
Try with different pencils, and make it as long as your piece of paper is.
Here are three examples.
6B
HB
6H
Make at least two, and begin one from black and the other one from white, as shown in the examples.
2.Clouds
Find a picture, or draw one from the sky if you have a good view. Pick one with different shades, not just a white fluffy one or a solid grey one. You can also draw the one I have posted above. (To view the whole picture pease click on it).
3.Imagination and thought
Thinking about shades and layers, your last exercise (due also for the 14th) is drawing the scene I am about to describe:
Two men are walking through a forest. One is very near us; the other one is further behind. The trees and the heavy rain coming down make it difficult to see their faces, but the one nearest clearly has a beard.
The rest is up to you.
