Now that we’ve tried one together, practice a few on your own. Remember, your figures don’t need to be perfect. Have fun!

ACTIVITY SEVEN

Shading

WORDS TO LEARN

midtones: the color values between light and dark

value: the level of lightness or darkness of color

tone: the intensity and saturation (richness) of color

diluted: watered down, lessened

There’s more to shading than just adding black! Shadows can be angular or round, hard or soft, and they help set a mood. They can jump from light to dark or gradually darken with many midtones.

In line art, figures can appear flat. Shading helps them appear more three dimensional. When shading, start out lightly and slowly apply more pressure as you move into your darkest value.

There are many ways to shade. In this activity, we’ll use different mediums to learn how shading can add to our drawings. Grab a pencil, pen, or even some watercolors, and let’s get started!
