Rendering Shapes

We are going to practice using some of our sketching and drawing equipment today the equipment you will need is:

Plain Paper

Pencil Crayons & Sharpener

HB Pencil

Black Fiber-tip Fine Line pen

Lesson words:

Sketching - using a pencil with a light grip to draw a shape

Rendering - using a pencil crayon to create a coloured fade from dark to light

Fine lining - using a black fiber tip fine line pen to outline your shape with Black ink

Symmetrical - something that is the same on both sides

Line of symmetry - a line that we sketch to help us draw a shape that is symmetrical

Using a pencil to sketch

Hold the pencil 1/3 of the way up so your lines are light

Using a pencil crayon to render dark tone

Hold the pencil crayon close to the tip to render a dark tone

Using a pencil crayon to render light tone

Hold the pencil crayon 1/3 of the way up to render a light tone

Here is an image that shows some basic shapes
