From the Eclectic Easel

Putting in the base color.  Second base color.  Third base color.  Working on shading.  Finished =).

HOW TO DRAW VALUE SCALES FOR PENCILS HB-9B.  1.) The first pencil I will start with is my HB pencil using circles.  Creating the scale:  2.) Grab the ruler and then measure out a line that is 8 inches.  3.) Measure an inch from the top line for the bottom line.  4.) So now I should have two lines that measure 1 inch apart.  5.) Now, measure an inch eight times to create the boxes across.  6.) Do the same for the bottom line.  7.) Start connecting the lines to create the 8 boxes.  8.) Label your boxes starting from the left 8-1-being number 1 is the lightest value (your paper.).  SHADING:  1.) I am starting with my HB pencil and using a pressure #2 and shading from the top left corner of the left box. 3.) Since I layered, I am not even going to use tissues or a blending stump to blend. =).  I do the same thing with my 2b pencil (we will do 3b after 2b pencil.) i create the same boxes as I did with my HB pencil

(Almost 200 posts yay!) Also, this week I may be doing a shading series with graphite. There are tons of ways to shade with graphite. But I think this week I may be focused on: 1.) Creating circles with your pencil to shade and blend graphite. I am also going to be focused on layering your graphite pencils. I'm not sure if I am going to do video formats for these or just do photos. Also, I may focused on creating value scales with just circles. So I am grabbing my pencils to get started! =). The pencils I will be using: H pencil, F pencil, B pencil, HB, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6B, and 8B and possibly 9b.I will be creating the value scale for HB, B, 3b, 4B, 5B, 6B, 8B, and 9B.   =) -Anna- PS: As for the paper goes, I will be using Bristol paper. =) (Edited to add this).
