Week Two: Value Drawings

As we step out of figure/ground drawings (positive/negative drawings) we progress into the VALUE drawings that builds 3 Dimensional space on a 2 dimensional surface.

You will have several drawings this next week to complete.

The Unmade Bed Drawings (One finished at the next Critique)
The Paper Bag Drawings (One finished at the next Critique)
The Egg Drawings (Done in your sketchbooks)
The Value Chart Drawings (Done in class and in your sketchbooks.)

These type of drawings create the illusion of space in the drawings.
If the object is round then your drawing should depict that roundness/oval/visual.

These type of sketches will take a little more investigation and a little more time in the drawing process.

Paper drawings have a particular personality just as the drapery of the bed drawings.
Each are very different in their touch and therefore their drawn appearance.

Soft vs hard.

The EGG DRAWINGS:
Each of you will create a beautifully drawn (in graphite) egg drawing this next week as we begin a look at VALUE. Take a look at these well-crafted and drawn examples. This is using the Ebony graphite pencil and erasers.
