Value Scale/Gradients 2017.





How I draw a value scale for portrait series: 


B GRAPHITE PENCIL: 
1.) I draw out 8 squares for my value. 
I start at the dark end of the value scale with my B pencil, and start shading. I shade towards the light end. (Shading up and down to make even tones and layering.). 

GRADIENTS VALUE: 
1.) I shade up and down with my pencil for a gradient effect. 

2.) For my HB pencil I start by drawing 8 squares again-an inch apart.

been working on hair since 5:00pm.  1.) I start with the side of the pencil and lay a base shading down on the strand.  2.) I blend with tissues.  3.) Then I start with the strokes with my 4h pencil or HB.  4.) I blend with tissues.  5.) I layer with my 2b pencil and blend with tissues again.  6.) I make highlights with a small eraser.  7.) Then I shade with a 4b pencil.  8.) I blend with tissues.  9.) I continue to shade the shadows with a 6b pencil and blend with tissues and blending stumps.  Finished the left side of the hair at 7:35pm.
