Some draftsman will do almost anything to create drama around their figures in pencil portraits. They may encase their figure with expressive linework or even use color to excite the eye. But all too often, they will wait until the last minute to make use of one of the most powerful tools in an artist's toolbox: value. Without value changes, all the elements of pencil drawings become dull, flat, and boring. This is because neither line nor shape can exist without value and gradations of light and dark. Join artist Dan Gheno for an exploration of the use of values to invigorate pencil drawings and add excitement.
Follow along as he investigates halftones, highlights, reflected lights, and shadow shapes to give depth and volume when drawing pencil portraits and figures. You will also learn how to use value contrasts to design exciting compositions, how to create depth, how to charge figures with lost and found edges, and how to use value to enhance the expressive qualities of line, gesture and shape.
