  1. Graphite and Values Drawing

  2. What is Value? • It is the Element of Art that deals with the darkness or lightness of a color. • Value depends on how much light a surface reflects or if there are shadows that overlay the object.

  12. Students’ Examples

  13. Requirements: • Copy and enlarge the original picture that you brought from home. No changes are allowed. • Use graphite pencil and eraser only. • Use the value scales on your sketchbook. • Use at least five different values (excluding black and white), and two shading techniques studied in class (hatching, crosshatching, stippling, and blending). • Neatness, and good craftsmanship is expected.

  14. Values Scale

  15. Shading Techniques Hatching: • It can be achieved by using a quick back and forth motion with the pencil. • Pressure can be added to the pencil point to create darker lines, or reduced to create smooth, light lines. • Normally, hatching is used diagonally and for drawings that require less detail or little shading. • The lines must ideally follow the same direction to constitute hatching.

  16. Cross hatching: • It uses the same principle techniques as hatching. • Lines are drawn and overlapped by another set of lines in another direction. • Pressure can be added again to create darker shades, or more lines can be added over hatched areas to create deeper textures and dark shading tones. • The closer the lines are, the darker the shading is on the drawing. This method is also popular for pen and marker pen drawings.

  17. Stippling: • Stippling, or “pointillism”, is a common form of shading used for ink drawings or pictures that do not require detailed shading. • Light dots are created on the area which requires shading and, much like cross-hatching, the dots are built upon, overlapped and made darker to indicate different shading tones. • The closer the dots are to each other, the darker the shading in that area. • Highlights can be formed from the spaces between the dots and variations in shading can be easily created by darker or larger dots in a shaded area.

  18. Blending: • Unlike hatching or cross-hatching, blending does not leave patches or white areas within the shading, and is instead blended into the picture and other shading tones. • A small amount of pressure is applied to the pencil in blending to create a small layer of graphite (if a pencil is used), which is gradually built up by more smooth graphite layers. • To create a smoother effect, use the pencil on a right angle, not the tip.

  19. Different Media for Drawing • Graphite Pencil • Charcoal • Pen • Ink • Scratchboard • Media is the plural for Medium. • It refers to the materials that we use to create artworks.

  20. New Vocabulary Words • Value • Value Scale • Shading Technique • Hatching, crosshatching, stippling, and blending • Contrast • Highlight • Shadow • Mid-tones
