  1. Drawing Class Shading with Paper

  2. 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…

  3. 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.

  4. Today’s Experimental Drawing Still-Life on Toned Paper

  5. 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

  6. 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!

  7. 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?

  8. 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

  9. 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.
