Pencil Drawing

 Drawing and Shading 

How to draw and shade 3D shapes









Objective: Students will learn how to draw 5,

3 dimensional shapes and shading each one.

Students will create a drawing of a

Sphere, Cube, Pyramid, Cone and Cylinder. 


Student Goal - Watch the video and view all

examples, practice drawing and shading each shape,

create a final shaded still life drawing of at least 4 shapes,

shade them according to a light source and create

shadows.



Please watch my demonstration on how to draw 3D shapes.

Mrs. Miller Demonstrates Drawing 3D Shapes


Please practice drawing the 5 3D shapes.



Please view this youtube video on how to shade....

https://youtu.be/DCyJ1LMTzxk


Please refer to the beginning of the video and practice

shading from dark to light with your pencil. More pressure

with the pencil, will create a darker shade. With less pressure,

the shade will be lighter.


After practicing shading, please practice shading your

shapes from day 1. 


Refer to the following pictures from Google Images...


Student Example...

Create a still life drawing of at least 4, 3D shapes.

Be creative. Shapes may overlap. Look for

reference pictures.

Choose a direction that the light source is coming

from and shade the shapes accordingly.

Please refer back to the videos from the first two days

of the lesson.

Evaluation Questions:

25 Points - 5 points each

Did you draw at least 4, 3D shapes? 


Did you choose a light source direction to

shade from?

 

Did you shade each shape, creating different

values with your pencil? 


Did you create a shadow for each shape,

according to your light source?


Did you use good time management to complete

the project and turn it in on time?


Final Project

Animal Pencil Drawing


Objective: Use the skills previously learned with

drawing and shading to create a pencil drawing

of a shaded animal.  


Materials: Paper, Pencil, Picture References, Eraser


1. Please research animal ideas and look at reference

pictures on your chromebook. Pick a picture of an

animal to draw.

This is a very helpful link to refer to...

Animal Drawing Tutorials 


2. Start with a very light pencil sketch drawing.

Take your time and look at all of the details. 


3. Begin adding texture and shading to your drawing. 

Please refer to and continue to develop the shading

techniques previously learned with the 3D shapes. Try

to achieve the different values from dark to light.


4. Shade your animal and create the texture of their

fur, hair, feathers etc. Take your time! Please look

carefully at your ference picture.
