HISTORY OF DRAWING

Drawing as a Form of
Communication

Drawing is one of the oldest forms of


human expression, with evidence for its
existence preceding that of written
communication. It is believed that drawing
was used as a specialized form of
communication before the invention of the
written language, demonstrated by the
production of cave and rock paintings
created by Homo sapiens around 30,000
years ago.

SHADING TECHNIQUES & CREATING
VALUES
Stipple or Stippling
Stippling involves drawing
with dots in black and
white or color. The closer
the dots are placed
together the darker the
value or more intense the
color. To create a faded
effect or a slight change in
value, gradually place the
dots farther apart. This is a
slow and detailed process
which can add some
interesting texture and
subtle value to your
drawings.
HATCHING o Hatching involves drawing
parallel lines. The distance
between the lines determines
the value and intensity of color.
o Lines that are close together
show stronger value or more
intense color.
o Create gradual changes in
these properties by gradually
drawing the parallel lines
farther apart.
Cross-Hatching

# Cross-hatching is similar
to hatching. However, lines
are drawn so that they
cross each other at angles.
Again, the closer the lines
are placed together, the
more intense the colors and
values become.
Scumbling
• Scumbling is a method of
adding texture by making
small circular motions with
your pencil.
Shading/Blending

Shading or Blending is a basic


back and forth stroke of the
side of the point of the pencil.
This stroke can be used for
filling in color, blending multiple
colors and value shading.

finding proportions. This is done by simply placing your
pencil or pen in your hand and then holding it at arms
