  • Using artline pen to create the shading.

COLOUR STUDY: SPLIT - COMPLEMENTARY









  • The split-complementary color scheme is a variation of the complementary color scheme.
  • It uses the two colors adjacent to its complement.
  • This color scheme has the same strong visual contrast as the complementary color scheme, but has less tension.

COLOUR STUDY: COLOUR VALUE

                             




  • Colour value refers to the lightness or darkness of a colour. Value becomes critical in a work which has no colours other than black or white. Every colour can produce a variety of tones; how light or dark these are depends on the colour.

  • These are the colour value that we make using primary colour; YELLOW, RED, BLUE. Starts with the colour, we keep on adding white colour to get the lightest colour.

DRAWING 2: LANDSCAPE DRAWING ( INK AND PEN)


BASIC COMPUTER 2: RENDERING SHADING TECHNIQUE


DOTS/STIPPLING


- Use tiny dots to create value.
- The closer together the dots, the darker the tone.
- Larger dots create a denser tonal value more quickly but can looks coarse.

SCRUMBLING/RANDOM


- "Brillo Pad" technique, uses layers of small calligraphic to build up value and texture.
- Various textures result depending on whether these short hatches are applied            
  vertically, at right angles, following a contour or at random angles.

CROSS HATCHING


- Uses layers of hatching placed at an angle.
- The first layer would be vertical, the next horizontal, the next at 45°, and so on.

HATCHING

- Basic method of creating value in ink drawing.
- The closer the lines are, the less white paper shows, and the darker the value appears.

CONTOUR HATCHING

- Hatching placed at a slight angle creates a moire-like effect, the diamond-shaped      
  fragments of white paper enlivening the denser ares of value;
- Often used in figure drawing, with the direction of line helping to suggest the cross-
  contours of the body;
- Hatching which follows a contour can also help to make objects appear more three-
  dimensional.
