On a 9 X12 paper, practice using graphite .
Your practice should include:
8 step value scale (minimum)
A shaded sphere with cast shadow
A shaded object drawn from observation
Once you are done, get last minute feedback from MS. Ibrahim. Upload to CANVAS
Project size is 12X16
Start with drawing a few thumbnails sketches in the margins sketches before beginning your artwork.
Tips:
Increase the contrast in your shadows for a more dramatic look
Start with lose shapes to get the scale and proportions accurately before you move onto your contour lines
Step back often to get a better idea of where you need to build value
