In the beginning We teach light and shading in the objects and it's volumes. Also the tones and subject's perspective through the light. An object one over another. The way the shadow could fall over the surface and the objects. Cast and core shadows are the main things we will go through and we have a lot of life drawing sessions in online for this. We will simple 4 rule techniques for this shading routine, for beginners and intermediate it helps a lot. When the kids master those levels we will plan for another course. Which will be more detail than this sessions.
Mediums will be pencil graphite, charcoal, compressed charcoal, charcoal pencil, suudha crayon black, staedtler8b.
Surface will be news print sheets for basics and 170 gsm sheets for better finishings. We also use smudge sticks. But to master the shading techniques we prefer our students to learn line shading techniques. It helps a lot through dynamic angles and constricrive structures of our subjects. When we go through that a lot with lot more practice we acknowledge a lot abt it.
