An accented outline drawing uses varied line thicknesses to indicate edges and outlines, with heavier accents near the observer and lighter accents for receding edges. Shaded drawings add tones and values to outlined objects to depict their visible surfaces, using techniques like crosshatching, smooth shading, stippling, and others. Accenting uses line variation while shading adds tones through techniques like hatching.

3. Accented Outline Drawing
• An outline drawing is generally a perspective representation of an
object in outline form; that is, without shading or coloring. The visible
edges or outlines of the object are shown by means of medium-heavy
lines. If these outlines, as these lines are often called, have varied
thicknesses, they are said to be accented.
• Heavy accents are usually indicated on outlines or edges near the
observer’s eyes. Light accents are used for edges or outlines that
recede from the eyes. Contrast the outline drawings of simple objects
in the figure 1 with their accented outlines in figure 2.

4. Shaded Drawing

5. • Shading is not accenting.
• Shading is the process of making the visible surfaces of an object,
drawn in outline form appear in variety of tones or values.
