Discover the Pattern of
Light and Shadow
In this chapter, you will learn very simple ways of establishing the
shape of light and shadow areas in your drawings. You will also learn
how to achieve the illusion of three-dimensionality. The techniques in
this chapter are used to create a reductiveor tonal drawing, as the
shape or pattern of light is removed from previously toned paper. A
beautiful oval-shaped vase is used for many of the drawing examples
because it has a simple round form, which lends itself well to the prin-
ciples being demonstrated here.chapter
