Blended, Cross-hatch, Broad-stroke and your own custom one. Draw 2 simple forms with full values using pressure stroke and one other tool mark above. Label the 5 general values on your drawings. Collect and bring to class photos to draw from. Credits: Carl Purcell “drawing with your artist’s Brain” Bert Dodson “Keys to Drawing”
