Shading with PaperDrawing Class
Thus Far in Drawing Class:
You’ve had to shade white paper using gray pencil lead
What a waste of time! The majority of your object isn’t white.
Today, we’re going to work the opposite way…
And use toned paper
Toned paper already has a value to it.
When we use gray paper, our midtones are already there for us – we just add highlight and shadow.
When we use black paper, our shadow is already there for us – we just add the lighter values.
Today’s Experimental Drawing
Still-Life on Toned Paper
First Step
Grab 5-6 interesting items for your table to draw
Be gentle with the materials
Don’t choose the same items you used for your last drawing
Second Step
Arrange your items so that they overlap and have balance
Don’t put all of your dark items on one side, etc.
Make it interesting!
Beginning Your Drawings Think about the
composition of your drawing Do you want items
going off the page? How much room do
you want around your drawing?
How large should I make my items?
Putting Objects In
Draw your largest object first This way, we know
everything else will fit You can use it to mark
scale
Draw LIGHTLY! These marks are guides for us – not something we want to show later
Adding Value
Then, using a colored pencil, add in the missing values.
Begin your value drawing using •Hatch•Cross-hatch•Scumble
•Colored pencils don’t blend like our regular pencils, so we don’t need our blending stomps
•Go SLOWLY. Colored pencil is hard to erase.
