Pencil Sketching, 2nd Edition

(Martin Jones) #1

LINE DRAWING


The use of simple pencil lines to describe
the object. Except in the areas under the
arches where spacing between lines becomes
very close, the rest of the lines are inde-
pendent, with clean and single pencil strokes
clarifying the spatial edges of the tower.


LINE AND TONE DRAWING
Shading is used to differentiate the
light and shaded planes. Short and con-
tinuous pencil strokes are used to give
a suggestion of shadows; this technique
tends to reinforce the three-dimensional
quality of the tower.

The softness of the lead gives a better
value definition of the black. It also simplifies
the shading process because you can actually
use fewer strokes to cover the same area
than when you use a traditional No. 2 pencil.
