1. Terminology:
Rendering: Applying colour and shade to an object to improve its presentation.
Rendering includes the thick and thin line technique, colour, tone and texture.

2. Thick and thin lines
How they work:
If the spider crawls over the edge and you can still see it, the line stays THIN.

3. How they work:
If it crawls over the edge and you can’t see it anymore, the line becomes THICK.

8. Tones Surface facing directly towards light: Lightest tone (white?).
Surfaces facing directly away from light: Darkest tone.
Other surfaces: Medium tone.

9. Surface facing directly towards light: Lightest tone.
Surfaces facing directly away from light: Darkest tone.
Those touching the lightest tone but not facing into the light – medium tone.

10. Surface facing directly towards light: Lightest tone.
Surfaces facing directly away from light: Darkest tone.
Those touching the lightest tone but not facing into the light – medium tone.

11. Surface facing directly towards light: Lightest tone.
Surfaces facing directly away from light: Darkest tone.
Those touching the lightest tone but not facing into the light – medium tone.

12. Surface facing directly towards light: Lightest tone.
Surfaces facing directly away from light: Darkest tone.
Those touching the lightest tone but not facing into the light – medium tone.

15. These drawing techniques tend to be used on more detailed initial ideas and development work.
NOTE: To add tone to coloured pencil, use the opposite colour on the colour wheel – not black!

16. Task one:
Draw a cube and add thick and thin line and tones to it.
Task two:
Draw a letter from the letter guide in one point perspective. Add tone and apply the line technique.
Task three:
Draw a simple small toy car and add coloured tone to it.
