When creating my drawings I decided to do Negative space, Balance & unity , and Movement. I found the reading to be helpful and I feel I get a better understanding of composition and I definitely need to include more background details and environments into my drawings, moving forward I will try to incorporate them into my work.

This week in your sketchbook, we will practice creating value using pencil and ink.

SWATCHES

In this exercise try creating multiple steps in value, using a variety of mark making techniques in ink.  Notice in this set of swatches all of the different methods used to create value.

FIRST: Try creating value scales which move evenly from light to dark.  Begin with by using the swatches below as examples, but feel free to come up with your method of shading, and unique patterns textures and designs.

NEXT Create an abstract design and fill in the design using these different swatches of value.  Try patterns, stippling, hatching, and crosshatch.  Try ink wash techniques as well. POST your work Tagged Sketchbook, along with your thoughts on it how you accomplished the task.

Fill 3 pages in your sketchbook over the course of the week.
