Pencil Shading

Tone, form and space

Shading builds a sense of space and form. It serves both graphite and colour pencil. Darker grades such as B and 2B carry the shadows. Hard grades such as H and 2H stay too pale for the darkest tones.

  • How the pencil moves, how to measure, and freehand construction
  • Landscape, portrait, figure, devotional subjects, and animals or birds
  • Hatching, cross-hatching and half-tone
  • Studies in charcoal pencil, marker pencil, and pencil on textured paper
  • A value scale before any finished picture
