Sketching Skills

We learned all about sketching today. We practised hatching, cross-hatching, contour hatching, random hatching, scumbling, stippling, and lots of different ways to shade (point and flat shading, shading areas, irregular and circular shading, directional shading, contour and perspective shading and using line weight in shading). We then began learning about sketching portraits. We watched the You Tube video below and used the skills and techniques shown. We did a portrait and we were very pleased with our first attempts. Tomorrow we will begin sketching a friend using the same techniques and skills.



Shenee loved sketching! She did so well. We were all proud of her.
