Value scales

Value scales

For this project we had to make value scales with different type of shading and values. We had to make it from lightest and darkest. We used stippling which is a dotting technique, Pressure, using a 2B pencil you had to start to push down more as you went from the lightest to darkest. Layering is a little different, this technique is usually used with a mechanical pencil and you go over it once very lightly, to make it darker you go over it again with the same amount of pressure.Cross hatching is the valuing we used in out 3 point perspective drawing, you use little sets of tiny lines and as you get darker, the darker and smaller they get, the lighter, the bigger and lighter they get. Graded value is when you use more than one pencil such as: HB, 2B, 4B, 6B, and a layout pencil, to get different shades of color. The final one is called Transition. For this one I used a 2B and you had to pick a certain value type and you had to do the same thing as the others but you couldn't have any obvious signs of color changes. 

I kinda liked this activity because it was something new for me and I didn't really know anything about value. This will help me in the future with just about anything I draw. I actually think this is one of the most important things to learn if you wanna be a artist in this sort.
