Pause for Thought Why is tone an important skill to develop when drawing? Tonal Shading Activity 1 You will be experimenting with the following three techniques to create tone: Cross-hatching Layers of lines are drawn in several directions. The more layers are used, the darker the area becomes. Blending Different pressures are used when shading to achieve light, medium and dark tones. Using your finger tip to gently blend and smooth the graphite achieves a smooth blend; a rubber can also be used to blend and add highlights. Stippling Layers of dots are built up to give the appearance of light, medium and dark tones within an object or drawing. Click on the video link to watch the tonal shading How-to video.
