I'm kicking myself because after weeks of drawing, I graded my students incredible drawings and sent them home without taking pictures! As an introduction to drawing and using professional drawing pencils, we created value drawings of a series of Willow Tree figurines. These are great because they are made up of basic shapes that are fairly easy to identify. Proportion and correct values proved to be the real challenge. Our drawing class took the challenge head-on and conquered it with ease!
We began by identifying the head, arms, and body and breaking them up into a series of circles, ovals, and rectangles. From there we perfected the outline as a whole identified the shapes of shadows and began adding layers of smooth value with the help of graphite pencils of various lead hardnesses (6B, 2B, HB, and 2-4H)
