Contour & Observation
This type of line shows the edges of your subject.
What is a contour line?
In real life, objects do NOT have these.
What are black outlines?
Value refers to the lightness or darkness of this.
What is a color or shape?
This tool helps match correct values before shading.
What is a value scale?
Colored pencils are made from pigment and this material.
What is wax?
This project focuses on smooth shading and a full value range on a round form.
What is the Colored Pencil Sphere?
When drawing contours, lines should be drawn this way so mistakes can be corrected.
What is lightly?
Instead of outlines, realistic edges are created using this.
What is value change?
Value is used to make objects appear this.
What is 3D (three-dimensional)?
The lightest part of a value scale is called this.
What is a highlight?
Rich dark values are built using these types of colors.
What are cool colors?
This project requires identifying highlights, midtones, and core shadows.
What is the Candy Project?
When checking proportions, artists compare height, width, angles, and this.
What is spacing?
When deciding how an edge looks, students ask if it is soft or this.
What is crisp?
Shading should always be built in this order.
What is light to dark?
The darkest shadow touching the object is called this.
What is the core shadow?
Instead of pressure, dark values should be created using this.
What are layers?
This project uses letters that must look 3D with no outlines.
What is the Stone Alphabet Project?
This drawing approach helps artists focus on seeing rather than symbols.
What is observational drawing?
A rounded object is best shown using this type of edge.
What is a soft edge?
This pencil stroke helps create smooth shading.
What is a small circular stroke?
The shadow cast onto the surface beneath an object is called this.
What is a cast shadow?
Colors next to each other on the color wheel are called this.
What are analogous colors?
This drawing project requires a strong reference photo with foreshortening.
What is Shoe Frenzy?
This method divides both the reference and drawing into equal sections for accuracy.
What is the quadrant method?
A sharp, high-contrast edge is called this.
What is a crisp edge?
Using pressure instead of layers will cause this shading problem.
What is harsh or uneven shading?
A value scale should include all of these from light to dark.
What are highlight, light, midtone, core shadow, and cast shadow?
This color is created by layering multiple colors like violet, green, and blue.
What is chromatic black?
This drawing layout method helps keep proportions accurate in large drawings.
What is the quadrant or shape method?
