Paper

Drawing paper is a great way to practice your line work and value. 

Notice how abstract some of the shapes can get while still maintaining form. 

Make sure to use a light source and be sensitive. 

Good luck!

Here is a great way to start.

Get it all blocked in before adding value.

Things to consider:

Crisp lines

Contrast

Interesting shapes

Negative space

Ground plane

Soft and hard transitions

Value Structure

Value Structure

Value denotes relationships of light and dark.

White is the lightest value-Black in shadow the Darkest Dark.

9 step value scale 

How light Works

• Highlights, the lightest values present on the surface of an illuminated form, occur upon very smooth and or shinny surfaces. They are the intense spots of light that appear on the crest of the surface facing the light source. 
• Light and Shadow are terms for the broad intermediate values between the more defined areas of a highlight.
• Core Shadow is the most concentrated darkness, it is where the form dives into the shadow.  This is where the Magic happens!
• Reflected light is light that is bouncing back from nearby surfaces it helps to clarify portions of a form, manly the core shadow. It is never lighter than thedarkest light.
• Cast shadows are formed from objects on adjacent planes.
