Shaded Objects
Date: High School Freshman, 2006-7
Time: About 30 minutes to an hour
Materials: Mechanical 0.5 pencil, notebook paper
Description: Shaded objects on lined paper. 3-d cone, ball/sphere, dog, cat cylinder, box, shapes. Doodles. Sketches.
Artist Comments: One of my oldest drawings. I was a freshman, and one of my AVID tutors taught me that making a background instead of putting an outline makes it look more realistic.
I've been using this technique ever since. It’s one of my favorite techniques! It’s incredibly entertaining to shade something and instead of drawing a line to define the edges, you just shade a different darkness around it to define the edges, and it actually looks better!
I love being able to use this technique to make fake things look more like they could exist in the real world. I also seem to get a lot of comments about my style of shading that makes it look like it was printed out instead of drawn with a pencil. Another note, I never smudge… I absolutely hate smudging! I think it makes it look messy and also lazy…
