Rainbow Shading Part 2 Lesson

Two days ago Art Clubbers and I had the second part of this super fun series, how to create SHADING using colored pencils. This is different than just coloring with colored pencils, there are two dimensions of complexity in this task: establishing the value (lightness) of the colored pencils AND the color.

The first thing we did was a quick recap on Part 1, where we had explored technique, the different levels of color shading and color wheel.

Next we discussed how color shading is different than just coloring, with lots of examples.

Next, we worked on two well known tangles, Pokeleaf and Fife, starting by really understanding the different options of how these tangles can be shaded, using direction light source (or not).

We completed two very indepth sequences with fragments of the two tangles.

Part 2 is available to all members of my Art Club as a video recording. If you are interested, then join the club while these recordings are still available to new members (only another month). Learn more about Art Club here.
