Pencil shading technique



1. Hatching: Parallel lines drawn closely together to create value. Closer lines result in darker areas.



2. Cross-hatching: Overlapping sets of parallel lines, crossing each other to build up tones and textures.



3. Stippling: Dots or small marks are used to create shading. The closer the dots, the darker the area.



4. Contour shading:Lines follow the contours of the object, emphasizing its form and structure.



5. Smudging/Blending:

Use a blending tool or your finger to smooth and soften pencil strokes for a more gradual transition between light and dark areas.



6. Layering: Build up layers of pencil strokes, gradually increasing pressure, to achieve richer tones and smoother transitions.



Remember to pay attention to light source, shadows, and practice to develop your own style.
