Homework: beginning drawing and painting F/G block

In your sketchbook do a gradiated tone scale in 4B graphite pencil that is 1" wide X 5" long

You need to show five tones from dark, midtones, to light midtones.

Due: Friday, Sept. 26th.

Beginning drawing Homework Due Sept 16th

Do Exercise 11: A Drawing of your hand holding an object in your sketchbook in pencil

Read the packet. You will need your plastic viewfinder and a marker. * the marker washes off by using rubbing alchohol or other cleaning solvent. This should be an ELEGANT LINE drawing of your hand. Observe the contours and interior qualities of the hand carefully. Remember to vary the thickness of your line, let it disappear in some areas. Add toning using your 4B pencil. Make sure you light your hand so you have shadows. The object you should should be something interesting to draw, nothing too simple with a good amount of detail or a beautiful shape.

Advanced/Intermediate homework: work on class project

1 and 1/2 to 2 hours of work on the drawing over the weekend.
I will look for a change between last class and when you return.... Happy Drawing! They are coming along beautifully!
