All about drawing - Tone

Activity 1 In the first strip you must go from black to white using cross hatching In the second strip you must go from black to white using pen In the third strip you must go from black to white shading as carefully and gently as possible It is important that you learn to control your pencil, look at Mr. Hebden and how carefully he is keeping inside the boxes. You must think about the pressure that you use – for the darkest boxes you must press down as hard as possible, and for the lightest boxes you should be just dragging your pencil across your page so lightly, using no pressure at all.
