COMPARING VALUES VALUE IN THE LIGHT VS. VALUE IN SHADOW
Where would you divide the lighted side from the shadow side on this hand cast image?
SHADOW LIGHT
Do you see any values on the shadow side that are the same as the values on the lighted side?
Look for these values in the image.
Shadow or Light?
Shadow or Light?
Shadow or Light?
Shadow or Light?
Usually the same values are not present in the lighted and shadow areas in the same drawing.
Why are we concerned with where the light and dark values belong?
Because if we want a subject matter that we are drawing to look real…
Value is the way to accurately model the light falling onto the form that we are drawing.
Value is the way to Show three dimensionality in your drawing.
Here are some examples of when the light is not realistically represented…
Here the value scale is too light, there is no shadow or dark values to show the three dimensionality of the object.
Here there is too much contrast, the darks are too dark and the light is too light, again, losing three dimensionality.
Here the shadow has become one value and has taken over the image, so we do not see any of the detail within the shadow.
And here the light has become only white, so we lose those subtle values in the lighted area…losing three dimensionality.
Now we are back to where we started. There is detail in both the lighted and shadow side, ahhh, three dimensionality.
