Tone: From Dark to Light.
The images in this section will help you identify the many varied tones of gray that can be found in
a drawing.
Here is a tonal sketch of a woman’s head. The tone on the paper has been erased to reveal the light on the woman’s head
and neck. Look closely and you will see that within that area of light, there are tonal variations. In the large shadow area on
the left of the head, there is also a large variation of grays down to black.
