Artwork of the Week 12: Value Introduction

Step One: On page 40, draw the 3 scales you see to the left in your sketchbook, on the lefthand side. You will be doing value scale, going gradually from the darkest value to the lightest using 3 different techniques:

1. Crosshatching
2. Stippling
3. Shading     

Please label each scale. The top box should be white, the bottom box should be as close to black as is possible with the tools you use. Squint your eyes to make sure the transitions are gradual.

Step Two: Draw the spheres below in the rest of the space in your sketchbook. Use the techniques from the scale to show how light falls on an object. Use this tutorial to guide you.
