Value Scale

7-Step Value Scale introduces students to one of the most important fundamentals in drawing: the ability to control light and dark. In this foundational exercise, students create a gradual progression from pure white to deep black using seven clearly defined steps. The assignment emphasizes pressure control, smooth transitions, and consistency, helping students train their eyes to see subtle shifts in value. This value scale becomes a critical reference tool for future drawings, laying the groundwork for realistic shading, depth, and form.
