Conclusion

Shading: is used traditionally in drawing to help create the illusion of depth, often by applying a gradient ranging from light to dark. The closer the lines are together, the darker the area appears. Likewise, the farther apart the lines are, the lighter the area appears.

Draw a circle on the page.

Outside the circle, lightly mark an x' as your light source

Here, use the ruler to lightly draw two lines from the mark to the opposite ends of the circle.

Section off your circle with lines that curve toward the light source.

Begin using the pencil to shade in areas. If you have a "B" pencil use it now!

It is easier to build up darkness, so start with those areas first.

There will be a small reflection of light opposite the light source, as the sphere cannot fully block light.

As we reach areas the light touches, lessen the pressure, barely making marks in the brightest spots.

Continue adding marks to make the gradient seamless, you can even use a tissue to blend together tones.

Teaching Points

Shade in the direction of the contours or curves

Turn the paper to help you shade in an arc

Look carefully at the direction of light

Adjust your grip to create darker tones

Your HB pencil is good for the lightest tones

Look closely at reflected light

Use a 4B for the darkest tones

Use an HB pencil to smooth the graphite

Add the cast shadow

Try NOT to use your fingers to blend
