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.

Texture Landscape

What is a landscape? Please watch...What is a landscape?

Mrs. Miller’s Demonstration...

Landscape Drawing

Materials: Paper, Pencil, Markers

1. Draw a simple landscape that fills your paper with

many different layers. Rocks, grass, hills, water, mountains,

trees, sunset, clouds etc… Draw each area as a shape and

leave it open/white inside. Fill your space with many

sections of the landscape.

Please draw a foreground, middle ground and background.

Be creative. Please refer to my

example, but do not copy.

2. Outline the landscape with a dark marker or sharpie.

Discuss Texture

Please watch...Texture

3. Fill each section/shape of the landscape with a pattern or

design to create the texture of each section. Use colored markers

to add color to the textures.

Please watch...Mrs. Miller demonstrates adding color and texture.

Fill the entire picture.

Starburst Zentangle Design

 

Materials: paper, pencil, ruler or straight edge,

pen, colored pencils or markers

Directions:

1. Place 2 dots 3-5 inches apart in the center

of the paper. Connect the 2 dots, with the ruler,

to create a horizontal line segment.

2. Draw 15 to 20 dots all over the paper

(dots may not be along the horizontal line

segment and area if the line segment were

extended to the edge of paper). The dots

should be scattered around on the paper

(some should be near the edges), spread

them out! These will be the points (angles)

on the design. The fewer the dots, the larger

the sections of the Starburst. 

3. Use a ruler for every line segment.

(Students have a tendency to want to draw

segments free-handed. A straight line is needed.)

Please watch

4. Fill each section of the design with Zentangle.

Adding Zentangle to the Starburst

 

For Zentangle ideas, please watch…

Easy- 20 Zentangle Patterns 

Also

48 EASY DOODLE PATTERNS 

Fill your Starburst with patterns and designs.

You may do this all in pen/sharpie or you

may choose to do this in color. It is up to

you on how you would like to complete your

design.

Illuminated Letters

Materials:

Drawing Paper, Pencil, Colored Pencils,

Dark Pen or Sharpie

 

Objective:

Create a letter design that reflects yourself

through images and symbols in an illuminated letter.

Please watch these short videos

on Illuminated Letters…

History of Illuminated Manuscript

Illuminated Letter Examples

Steps:

1. Students will brainstorm images and symbols

that represent who they are.

2. Next, make some rough sketches from the

image search.

3. Decide on using your first or last name

for Illumination lettering design.

4. Design the first letter of your name,

incorporating the images and symbols. 

5. Transfer the initial to the final drawing paper.

6. Embellish negative space if desired and

add detail work to the drawing.

7. Add color to complete the design.

Student Examples....

Next… Pencil in the rest of the name.

Use a ruler/straight edge for guidelines. 

Shade the designs with colored pencils.

Outline with pen/sharpie to complete the design.

Remote Learning, Week 5

Zentangle Design

Materials: paper, something to draw with (marker, sharpie or pen),

a circle to trace (can, tape, cup, candle etc.)

Zentangle is an easy to learn, relaxing and fun way to
create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns.
These patterns are called tangles. Zentangle Art is non-
representational and unplanned. Just relax and doodle!

FIRST... 

What is zentangle and how do you create it? Check out a couple

of videos that demonstrate how to create zentangle. 

https://youtu.be/AY6Xqj1g3AU

https://youtu.be/ycsONJVXcac

Examples of zentangle….

Lesson:

You will be creating a zentangle design. 

1. On a piece of paper or cardboard (whatever you can find) you

will trace a circle multiple times. Let the circles overlap, to create

different sections. 

2. Inside each section, you will create a different pattern or design.

You may use a pen, a marker, a sharpie or whatever you can find

at home.

I have included some examples - but you can create any designs

you would like. I have also included some helpful Youtube video

demonstrations.

Just have fun and be creative! Use a pen or a

marker, if possible, but anything will work.
Please refer to this picture as an example.
