Layers of Value

Objectives:

• Control pressure while shading

• Value gradation

• Shading techniques (hatching, crosshatching, or blending)

• Manipulate value to achieve an illusion of depth

assignment:

Create a 4+ layer abstract design with an illusion of depth by applying different values.

Think of a stack of 4 sheets of paper with large cutouts.

Each sheet (layer) creates its own drop shadow, each layer is slightly darker in value as you go from the top to the bottom
