1. SHADING TECHNIQUES

2. Hatching This is the basis for much of the rendering and shading in pencil and pen. It's as simple as that! If you are unfamiliar with drawing with this stroke, practice it in your sketchbook. It's fun!

3. Cross Hatching Each different direction adds more tone to the shading, and gets it progressively darker, and darker. The example on the left shows how a dark dark tone looks. One bears down a little harder with their pencil, and gets the darkest tone they can while using the "slinky" stroke. They do this going several different directions. Voilà! A very dark (even black) tone.

5. Stippling shading by using small dots. Such a pattern may occur in nature and these effects are frequently emulated by artists.

7. Value Scale: Stipple

8. Blending Blending the colors so closely together that you cannot tell exactly where one shade ended, and another began

9. What will you be doing: You will be creating a value scale for each technique using each kind of medium we will be using in class. If every scale is how it should be you will be able to paint a value scale.

10. Remember…. Learning and using value can take you from this……
