Pencil Sketch

Create 3 pencil sketches of an object with a full range of values and shading to create the illusion of depth and 3 dimensions.

• • Choose only one object per drawing.

  • Have only one light source and draw the object from one side or the other.

  • Objects should not be highly reflective (glass, metal, etc.). 

  • Good objects include fruit, wood blocks, wood kitchen utensils, matte or unglazed ceramics, books without dust jackets.

  • Drawings should include full range of values from 100% light (no media) to 100% dark.*

  • Most of your object (90%) should have some value on it. (no more than 10% white paper).*

  • Lines should not be used to define a change in values.*

  • Please include the shadow of the object on the surface it rests upon.*
