lets discuss how Nigeria's Art can move forward...
The first step to successful pencil shading is to control the movement
of your pencil, making sure that every mark you make on the paper works
towards creating the shading or modeling effect that you want. The
following pages offer a few tips to get you started. To begin with,
decide whether you want to use the point or side of the pencil to shade
with.
The example at left is shaded with the point, at right, with the
side. The difference doesn't show up clearly in the scan, but you can
see that the side shading has a grainier, softer look and covers a large
area quickly. Using a
sharp point to shade allows you more control, you can do much finer
work, and get a greater range of tone out of the pencil.
