Shading A few notes: • Shading makes your drawings appear more realistic by adding depth and contrast • Pencil hardness – Artist pencils vary in hardness Typical school pencil hardness HB – It is easier to shade with a softer pencil All content and images © 2016 Project Lead The Way, Inc. unless noted otherwise.

Shading Step 1. After you have created a line drawing, make a value scale

Shading Step 1. After you have created a line drawing, make a value scale using your pencil(s). This will help you determine the darkness of your shading as you work. Values that may work for a dark colored object a light colored object Few items will require the full spectrum All content and images © 2016 Project Lead The Way, Inc. unless noted otherwise.
