Lesson 1: Practice Shading with Line

I recommend doing the Drawing course first and doing all of the lessons in order as everything builds on what came before.

In this lesson, students will develop confidence in drawing, learn new vocabulary, and understand how to create basic forms of value. Students will know:

  • What Hatching, Cross Hatching, Stippling, Scumbling, and Tonal shading are, how to use them, and when to use them.

  • How to create a gradient.

  • How to make an object look 3D

Time Estimate: One 45 minute class
