For this week's homework, you are to create a total of six value scales using different drawing media.
Each value scale will be in eight steps, with each step measuring 1 x 1 inch, moving from black to a lightest grey (close to the white of your paper). You need to use your Strathmore drawing paper (not Bristol board), and I suggest you carefully measure all the scales out with a ruler, drawing each of the eight boxes out using a pencil.
When drawing or shading, you may use your drafting tape to help create clean edges, and then carefully remove the tape. (note: so as to not tear your paper, the tape must have very low tack; you can reduce it's tack by tamping your fingers on it).
When you are finished, you may have to spray fixitive on the scales that were created using graphite and charcoal, so that they will not smudge or smear.
1. Ink Pen: Stipple
2. Ink Pen: Cross-Hatching
3. Graphite: 2B-6B (lightly building value, without pressing too hard into the paper; sketch using the side of your graphite tip)
4. Graphite:HB-4H(again, lightly building/layering, as mentioned above)
5. Ink Wash (addition of water to ink, to thin it out in increments)
6. Charcoal (starting dark and laying down charcoal softly to build in layers; do not press hard)
BEGINNING DRAWING: DUE MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7
DRAWING FOR NON-ART MAJORS: DUE THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27
