Pencil Shading Exercise
Saturday May 3, 2008
Try this easy pencil shading exercise to develop your range of tone. One of the big mistakes beginner artists make is to draw too lightly, or less often, to draw very heavily, not exploiting the full range of tone. Part of the problem is observing your subject, but you also need to discover just how much variation you can get out of a simple pencil.

i am an artist and when i draw people out of a magazine, i shade to lightly and that is a problem for me.
Some people think these exercises are boring but it’s really worthwhile, it will help to learn about conrollling the pencil to get just the depth of tone you want to achieve. It will help your drawing. Do try it!
