Shading
Step 1. After you have created a line drawing, make a value scale using your pencil(s). This will help you determine the darkness of your shading as you work.
Values that may work for a dark colored object
Values that may work for a light colored object
Create a value scale at the bottom of the page on which you sketches your tape dispenser.
Few items will require the full spectrum

Shading
The tape dispenser is black in color, and so the darkest values in the value scale are used to shade the dispenser. The transparent tape, however, is very light in color and so the lightest values are used.
