 PART 2: LESSON 2a - SHADING
TIME: Allow 40min
Aim: To
begin the lesson on shading. This will encompas cross-hatching
and other useful methods as well as noting the theory of
shading generally.
Materials: The sketch pad, HB and 4B pencil, eraser
| Allow
five minutes to for the quick sketch test. Two minutes
to do and three to mark. Swap, display and title if
necessary. |

CUPS a) Without using the ruler
(or any other straight edge) prepare the page with margin
and title boxes then: Make a light freehand sketch of a
cup as shown below, then repeat this until four similar
cups are made
b) Using short strokes firm in cups.
c) Use the 4B pencil and medium pressure
'hatch' a series of parallel sloping lines as shown.
d) Do the same, though with shorter lines,
in the other direction. Next use some vertical lines and
lastly some horizontal. This method of shading is called
cross-hatching and is useful for quick renditions.
e) Make another row of four cups.
f) This time we will use a 'figure 8'
as our shading method. You could use an 'O' or an 'S'. Use
your 4B pencil with a 'light weight' or light pressure and
draw a series of '8's' as shown. As you near the darker
edge of the cup the 8s can 'overlap' and get a little darker.
Don't forget the top left 'mouth' of the cup as it too will
need to be shaded.
g) Make another row of four cups. Again
using your 4B pencil and 'light pressure' make a series
of lines using cross hatch or '8's. With the end of your
finger rub the pencil lines until they merge together and
form a flat even 'smudge'. Try and stay within the edges
of the cup. Repeat this and darken as you near the right
hand edge of the cup. Again, do not neglect the top lip.
Label the three methods and title the
drawing 'shading'.
