Value Scale Drawings
This is a picture of a girl from our sister school in London, Ontario Canada. The main point of this project was to understand Valve. Valve is also known as the Value scale and is used for color and shadowing. We started with a black and white picture of one of the members of our sister school. I chose this girl, because she reminded me of my sister. I used a piece of tracing paper to trace her face and all of the basic shapes which showed her shadowing. When I was done tracing I shaded the back of the tracing paper. I then pressed the back of the tracing paper on the top of a clean sheet of paper and retraced the original design. I spent the rest of the time looking at the picture and shading in certain areas. It turned out beautifully and actually ended up looking remarkably like the girl I was trying to draw. This is most likely the best human I've ever drawn in my life. The most difficult part of this project was the tracing. I ended up having to press the picture and the tracing paper up against the window in order to trace efficiently.
