Study Notes

Shading in Drawing

Shading enhances realism in drawings by simulating light and shadow.
It adds depth and dimension, bringing a two-dimensional surface to life.

Lightness and Darkness in Tone

The term used to describe the varying degrees of lightness and darkness in a drawing is "value."
Value is crucial for creating contrast and defining forms.

Pencil Techniques

The technique involving horizontal or vertical movements of the pencil is known as "hatching."
Hatching can create texture and define shapes through parallel lines.

Smudging in Drawing

"Smooching" or smudging helps to blend tones and soften lines.
This technique can produce a more polished and cohesive appearance in the artwork.

Non-overlapping Shading Technique

The term for shading with two directions that do not overlap is "cross-hatching."
Cross-hatching uses intersecting lines to create rich texture and depth in shading.
