Art 1 Beginning, Week 8Portrait Shading

Monday

1.Bring out your portrait photo, grid enlargement, and final white paper.

2.Discuss: where are the highlights and shadows on the person? Can you tell where the light source is based on the location of the highlights and shadows? Remember: NO OUTLINES! Shade to the edges!

ONLY DRAW WHAT YOU SEE: IF THERE IS NO LINE, DON'T DRAW ONE.

3.Shading, using the book by JD Hillberry: "Drawing Realistic Textures in Pencil"

Always keep a clean paper under your hand while shading.

a.Eyes, pages 53-54: Whites of the eyes are usually light grey, so use an H pencil

b.Eyelashes and Eyebrows: Remember that calligraphic line? Your teacher will demonstrate.

c.Nose, pages 55-56: You probably need to darken the nostrils, but not too dark: use a My Pal, HB, or 2B.

d.Lips, pages 56-57: Shading direction follows the curved, vertical lines on the lips. Look at your own!

Don't forget the highlight.

e.Teeth: Do not draw lines between the teeth! Lightly render the shadows on the gums and teeth. At the end, if needed, you can draw 4H VERY PALE lines on the teeth, ifvisible in the photo.

f.Ears: Shade carefully as the rest of the skin.

g.Skin, pages 55-56: use H pencils for light skin and medium for dark skin: My Pal, HB, or 2B. Only the darkestshadows may use the darkest pencils. Remember to look for highlights.

h.Hair, pages 58-59: Start with the lightest values and then move through the darker values.

4.Start shading the portrait the same way you completed the Michael Jackson activity.

Leave it out for reference. Where should you use the four shading techniques we studied?

Tuesday

1.Please send in an email the text you want in calligraphy around your portrait:

This is due by the beginning of class tomorrow.

2.Work-in-Progress Critique: Are there any outlines? Remember that we want edges only!

Does the shading look well done? If not, why? Offer constructive criticism.

3.Shade your portrait.

Wednesday

1.Text email is due today.

2.Calligraphy practice: On lined paper, copy the Calligraphy font

on the Art 1 Beginning website. Use three spaces: one space

for 'O' height letters, two spaces each for capital letters and letters with tails above or below the line.

3.Practice writing your text on lined paper.

4.On your manila paper, write your text as you want it. If you have a lot of text, you may want to mark every inch for each line. Otherwise, write on your 2" lines. You will trace the calligraphy onto the white paper using a light box. Do not trace the lines, just the text. Sign your name in calligraphy at the end of your text.

3.Finish shading portrait, due next Duesday.
