1. Shading techniques…controlling VALUE
Creating the illusion of depth

2. Value = the lightness or darkness of an area or object.
The value scale goes from pure white to pure black

3. Tone = the degree of light or dark on an object.

4. Shading = depicting depth on a flat surface through various levels of light and dark tones or values.

5. Blending = shading technique involving softening or evenly spreading out original drawing strokes.

6. Hatching= shading technique that uses fine, parallel lines placed close together.

7. Cross-hatching = extension of hatching where another layer of alternating lines is used.

8. Stippling = shading technique using dots or short dabbing strokes.

9. Scribbling = shading technique that uses random scribbled, circular marks made without lifting up the pencil or pen.

10. Contrast = strong differences in value, lines, size, shape, etc..
Value contrast is very important…it adds emphasis to areas and is used often to create a focal point (area of emphasis)

11. Value contrast is very important…placing lights against darks enhances contrast and adds interest and variety to your work

12. Name Value Design
Draw your name across the paper…letters overlap and run off all 4 sides of paper
Add 5 circles to the design
Add 3 diagonal lines
Add 3 vertical lines
Add 3 horizontal lines
Start blocking in dark,
light and mid tones using
hatching, scribbling,
stippling, cross-hatching
and blending techniques.
