Project 1 - Pencil Potential
These first six small exercises are to familiarize yourself with the characteristics of three pencil points - sharp, blunt & chiseled; as well as three degrees of pencil pressure - light, medium & heavy.
Project 2 - Rendering Tone
These next six exercises are to apply what you have now learned from points & pressure to simple objects for drawing. In some cases TONE is created with line while others it is created by layering color with varying pressure.
Project 3 - Varying Your Strokes
These first six small exercises are to familiarize yourself with the characteristics of three pencil points - sharp, blunt & chiseled; as well as three degrees of pencil pressure - light, medium & heavy.
Project 4 - Three Line Techniques
These next six exercises are to apply what you have now learned from points & pressure to simple objects for drawing. In some cases TONE is created with line while others it is created by layering color with varying pressure.
Project 5 - Render Realistic Space
These three exercises will be testing your abilities in more realistic rendering. The shapes of the objects you see depend on light & shade. In drawing you can create the illusion of light & shade with color & linear techniques.
