Ching Shading Exercises II 11.06.07

These are exercises from Ching Chapter 2. We were working with how to shade based on tonal values of light, reflected light, and shadow. I tried it out first with a candle and wooden spoon.
Not too bad for a first try. It was tricky to get the variations in tone in the big shadow under the objects. I have to learn to break it down into only 1 or 2 variations.



Here's the same still life using pen and random-style shading. It was easier to make subtle changes with this method.
Mapping study. I like the analytical approach of this technique.
Two showing texture. A part of a waffled yoga mat and a smooth flash drive. I kind of like the way the one on the bottom came out. Looks like two floppy buildings!
