Shading Outline Sketch

This document discusses different artistic techniques for depicting depth and form including shading, which varies darkness to show 3D models, and Phong shading, a realistic technique developed in 1973. It also describes contour drawing or outlining, where an artist sketches the outline of a subject resulting in a drawing that is essentially an outline. Finally, it defines a sketch as a quick, rough drawing that is not intended as a finished work, which can be used to record something seen, develop an idea, or demonstrate an image or principle.

Shading refers to depicting depth perception in

3D models or illustrations by varying levels of


darkness. Example of flat shading vs. Phong
shading interpolation. Phong shading is a
more realistic shading technique, developed by
Bui Tuong Phong in 1973.

Outlining / Contour drawing, is an artistic


technique used in the field of art in which the
artist sketches the contour of a subject by
drawing lines that result in a drawing that is
essentially an outline; the French word contour
meaning, “outline.”

A sketch (ultimately from Greek σχέδιος –


schedios, "done extempore"[1][2][3]) is a rapidly
executed freehand drawing that is not usually
intended as a finished work.[4] A sketch may serve
a number of purposes: it might record something
that the artist sees, it might record or develop an
idea for later use or it might be used as a quick way
of graphically demonstrating an image, idea or
principle.
