Grey scale

We will see these two tutorials:

The first one is to make 5 boxes on a sheet, can be on a scketchbook sheet or on a normal sheet.

The second one is to learn how to make a grey scale.

The painters and draftsmen use the gray scale to give a feeling of three-dimensionality and volume to the two-dimensional drawings they make on paper or canvas, the examples are endless.

In this activity we will first draw a cube on a blank sheet and we will shade it to give it more volume and realism.

After the cube, which has planes and edges, we will move on to the sphere, whose surface is smoother. Giving volume to a smooth surface is more complicated, so I put it second.

Watch the tutorials in this order:

1. Doing a margin on the sheet. This is the first one because you have to do a margin on your sheet.

2. Shading a cube

3. Shading a sphere
