Shading

These are drawings I did for the shading portion of this course

This is my value chart along with some simple shaded shapes. I feel that that’s a pretty good sphere.



Two glasses of water. The first being an in class sketch and the second being for the assignment. Honestly I feel that the first one is better.


An assortment of shaded shapes also for an assignment. It’s a bit rough but I kind of like that texture to it as it looks a bit painterly in a way.

Last but not least the fully shaded still life. I feel very proud of this one. I wanted to leave the table portion lighter to contrast the background a bit and make it easier to shade the shadows, but I feel like it may look a bit incomplete. I tried using cross hatching for this assignment. Even though hatching and cross hatching can be a bit tedious I find it satisfying and almost therapeutic.  Over all I’m proud of this one.
