8. Shading in
Still-life Drawing

9. Shading does not only make
the parts or features of a drawing
distinct but also creates form,
texture, and space.

10. It also gives an illusion
of depth in a drawing.

11. Shading is commonly used in
a drawing a portrait, landscape,
or still life using pen, charcoal,
pencil, colored pencil, or oil
pastel.

12. The three
main parts of a
subject that need to be
shaded properly are:
1.HIGHLIGHT
2.HALF-TONE
3.CAST SHADOW

13. HIGHLIGHT
- the area where
reflected light is
the brightest.

14. HALF-TONE
- includes the
middle tones
lightness and
darkness of the
shaded areas.

15. CAST SHADOW
- the dark or
shadow formed next
to a surface that is
turned away from
the source of light.

16. Different
Shading
Techniques

17. Shading is one of the
most important features
in drawing.

18. Hatching
- use of a parallel lines drawn
closely together in the same
direction.

19. Cross-Hatching
- almost the same as hatching
but with another set of parallel
lines overlapping the other set
in the opposite direction.

20. Smudging or Smooth Shading
- creates soft and smooth
shading effects.
- you can apply it by blurring
and blending the shading with
the use of your fingertips.

21. Pointillism
- use of dots to shade an area.
- the closer the dots are and the
more dots an area of a drawing
has, the darker the drawing
appears.

22. Squirkling
- when you doodle or scribble
with circles to create various
textures such as rough or fuzzy
fabrics and curly hair in your
drawing.
