Tonal Drawing --- from Complete Life Drawing book

TONAL DRAWINGS


Exercise: Using three basic tones to model form

Objectives: Building up a three-dimensional image; Learning to analyze the fall of light

The tone refers to the lightness or darkness of your paper, and your pastel or conte crayon.

You choose a paper with an intermediate tone and use the paper for the basic flesh tone.

White pastel is used for the highlights and a darker conte--not necessarily black--is used for the shadow areas.
